How to Make Coffee Soy Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar.
  3. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, to allow the glaze to slightly thicken further.
  6. Baste spareribs or pork chops generously with the glaze during the last 15 minutes of barbecuing, basting every 5 minutes for even coverage and maximum flavor.
