Name: Spicy Hoisin Glaze
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes about 2/3 cup
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons rice vinegar; 1 teaspoon cornstarch; 1/3 cup hoisin sauce; 2 tablespoons light corn syrup; 1 - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce; 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger; 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder

Why This Recipe Works

We use a small amount of corn syrup, which is less sweet than other sweeteners, to provide viscosity but not a lot of sweetness.

Before You Begin

For a spicier glaze, use the larger amount of Sriracha sauce.

Instructions

Whisk vinegar and cornstarch together in small saucepan until cornstarch has dissolved. Whisk in hoisin, corn syrup, Sriracha, ginger, and five-spice powder. Bring mixture to boil over high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer glaze to bowl.
