Asian Soy Glaze Recipe (Sticky & Sweet Sauce)

Ingredients

• 16 g sesame oil
• 40 g minced garlic
• 12 g minced ginger
• 130 g all-purpose soy sauce
• 116 g honey
• 72 g dark brown sugar
• 40 g oyster sauce
• 24 g apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the 16 g sesame oil, 40 g minced garlic, and 12 g minced ginger and cook for about 30 seconds or until it becomes slightly brown.

2. 2

   Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot: 130 g all-purpose soy sauce, 116 g honey, 72 g dark brown sugar, 40 g oyster sauce, 24 g apple cider vinegar. Stir until it’s combined.

3. 3

   Continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about half.

4. 4

   It will be a bit watery, not candy-like, and not really coating the back of a spoon, but it will thicken as it cools down (see photo). You don’t want to keep it over the stove until it reaches final consistency because it will be too thick afterward.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes to thicken into the consistency of thick honey. See photo for thickness after resting. You should be able to run a spatula or spoon down the middle and leave a line down the middle for 2 seconds before it pools back together.

6. 6

   Use it on your desired recipe.
