How to Make Thai Grilling Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well combined.
  2. Whisk in 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  6. Brush generously onto pork or chicken during the last 10-12 minutes of grilling, basting occasionally for even flavor and a beautiful glaze.
