How to Make Coffee Soy Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup brewed coffee, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar.
  3. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Use immediately to baste spareribs, pork chops, tofu, or chicken during the last 15 minutes of grilling or cooking. For best results, brush on a thin layer at a time, allowing it to caramelize slightly between applications.
