Ingredients

• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Grate the ginger using a fine grater or a microplane to yield about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger paste.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the optional red chili flakes at this stage if you want a touch of heat in your glaze.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch to create a slurry.

Step 7

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 8

Keep cooking the glaze over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the glaze from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before using.

Step 10

Brush the glaze onto skewered kabobs during the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, or use it as a dipping sauce for cooked kabobs.
