Tools: saucepan, whisk
Prep / Cook / Total: 5 / 7 / 12 min

Context / constraints

Needed a fast glaze for chicken; no time for long reduction.

What I changed vs last time

Baseline (first attempt).

Ingredients actually used

As written, but used low-sodium soy.

Process notes

Simmered 4 min before adding slurry; thickened quickly.

Results

• Taste: strong, good punch
• Texture: glossy; slightly thicker than desired
• Ease / mess: easy, one pan
• Score (1–10): 8
• Would I serve to guests? yes

Fixes / next hypothesis

• Reduce slurry by ~25% for a looser glaze.
