Peanut Free Honey Garlic Glaze

Sticky, glossy, and deeply savory, this glaze comes together in one small saucepan in under ten minutes flat. Honey and garlic simmer down with a splash of rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil until fragrant, then a quick cornstarch slurry pulls everything into a thick, spoon-coating consistency that clings beautifully to whatever it touches. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a gentle warmth if you want it, but it's just as good without. Brush it over grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or crispy tofu, or use it as a dipping sauce on the side — it's endlessly versatile. Since there's no nut or nut-derived ingredient anywhere in the mix, this one is an easy, reliable pick for a peanut free kitchen.
