Warm Honey Soy Glaze

1.In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.

2.In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and chili flakes if using.

3.Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring frequently to prevent burning.

4.Once simmering, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to the sauce.

5.Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency.

6.Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly; it will thicken further as it cools.

7.Transfer the warm honey soy glaze to a serving bowl.

8.Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

9.Serve warm as a dipping sauce for dumplings, spring rolls, or grilled chicken.
