Notes
- Know when to stop — If you happen to boil the sweet soy glaze too much, it will reduce more than you want and start to burn. To prevent this, always keep an eye on the pan.
- Too thick? — On the occasion that you overcook the sweet soy glaze, I recommend adding 1 ½ tbsp. water to thin out the sauce.
- Not thick enough? — If you suspect that the sweet soy glaze ended up being too thin, just dilute 1 ½ tbsp. cornstarch into ¼ cup water. The resulting cornstarch mixture will help thicken your sauce.
