This glossy glaze comes together fast in one saucepan, with sweet honey and freshly grated garlic mellowed by a splash of rice vinegar and a nutty hit of toasted sesame oil. A quick simmer coaxes out the garlic's fragrance, and a cornstarch slurry whisked in at the end thickens everything to that perfect spoon-coating consistency, with a clear line left behind when you drag a finger through it. Add red pepper flakes if you want a little heat, or leave them out for a purely sweet-savory finish. It clings beautifully to roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu, turning a simple weeknight protein into something that tastes glazed and lacquered like takeout. Best of all, it's a solid pick for a gluten free kitchen, so you can drizzle it on freely without a second thought.
