This is an easy/peasy glaze to prepare, and it is finger-lickin’ good. Thanks to the introduction of the molasses and white pepper, it has a very agreeable sweet heat. I usually add a bit more pepper, and ginger powder to mine, but I think this recipe is a good place to start. Once you have tried it, you can add what you will, and make it your own. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sauce essentials: tamari, molasses glaze

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    To smash the baked garlic, place on a flat surface, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and crush using the flat of your kitchen knife.
  • Step 3
    Read thru the recipe, and gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 4
    Add the ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Step 5
    Combine, and bring to a simmer.
  • Step 6
    Chef’s Note: Do not bring the mixture to a boil, just a nice friendly simmer.
  • Step 7
    Stir, until the glaze begins to thicken, and reduces by about 25 percent, 5 – 10 minutes.
  • Step 8
    Remove from heat, and store in a tightly-sealed container until needed.
  • Step 9
    Chef’s Note: If properly sealed, it should last a week-to-ten days in the fridge… possibly longer.
  • Step 10
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    Step 11
    I have used this glaze on chicken (as pictured), fish, pork, and veggies (carrots, broccoli, etc.). I have yet to try it on beef. It is a simple flavorful sauce/glaze. FYI: I really like it on veggies. Enjoy.
