- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions
Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

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