Honeyed Soy Glaze

1. Combine Ingredients

Start by combining the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. This mix of ingredients will form the base of your glaze, blending the rich, deep flavors of the soy sauces with the sweetness of sugar.

2. Dissolve Sugar

Next, place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently until the sugar completely dissolves. This step is crucial as it ensures the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the glaze. You'll know it's ready when the mixture turns smooth and uniform.

3. Simmer the Glaze

Once the sugar has dissolved, allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes. This gentle simmering will reduce the liquid slightly and help thicken the sauce. Keep an eye on it—you’ll see it transform into a slightly thicker, more glossy glaze.

4. Serve Immediately

Finally, serve the honeyed soy glaze immediately. It pairs perfectly with roasted duck or can be used as a delightful condiment for other dishes.
