1. Combine Initial Ingredients
Start by combining ¾ cup of chicken broth, ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Chinese rice wine or dry sherry, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until the cornstarch and sugar are fully dissolved.
2. Add Remaining Ingredients
Once the initial mixture is smooth, add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce. Whisk everything together again until the sauce is smooth and uniform.
3. Use the Glaze
Pour the prepared sauce over your protein and vegetables during cooking. Toss everything together so that the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and aromatic, about 3-5 minutes. Let them cool before incorporating into the glaze.
Use high-quality ingredients like traditionally brewed soy sauce and cold-pressed sesame oil to greatly enhance the flavor of your glaze.
Achieve a balance of sweet, salty, sour, and umami in your glaze. Adjust with additional ingredients like rice vinegar to taste.
Utilize fresh garlic and ginger, minced or grated, for the most vibrant flavors in your glaze.
Mix cornstarch with cold water before adding to the glaze for smooth thickening. Add slowly and stir continuously to reach desired consistency.
