Equipment

  • 1 small sauce pan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey option to use maple syrup, brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes optional
  • 1 tsp cornstarch see recipe notes

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to bring all the ingredients together. Continue to cook on medium heat for 4-6 minutes. 
  • Once the sauce is thickened, it is time to remove from the saucepan from the heat. Then let the glaze cool.
  • Serve this recipe over grilled meat, baked tofu, or vegetables. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. 

Notes

I use 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken this glaze. Option to continue to add cornstarch 1/2 tsp at a time and whisk until desired consistency is reached.
If glaze becomes too thick, add 1 tsp of water and whisk until desired consistency is reached.
