Captain Rodney's Boucan Glaze Recipe
Captain Rodney's Boucan Glaze is pure magic in a bottle. A sweet, tangy concoction that transforms any ordinary dish into a flavour-packed sensation. Imagine a sauce that's like a tropical vacation for your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
- Garlic Cloves (Finely chopped)
- 1/2 tablespoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 oz White sugar
- 2 tablespoon Water
- 4 tablespoons Cornflour/cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce gluten-free
- 2.8 oz Sambal Oelek
Instructions
- Combine vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Add soy sauce and garlic cloves to the mixture. Sprinkle in cayenne pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a nonstick pan and promptly add sambal oelek.
- Heat the pan over medium heat and continuously stir during boiling, which takes a few minutes.
- If sambal oelek wasn't added earlier, do so now. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken.
- Prepare a cornstarch and water slurry. Pour it into the boiling mixture. Stir until smooth.
- Avoid over-simmering as the sauce thickens upon cooling.
- Allow the glaze to cool, then transfer it to airtight glass jars.
- Store at room temperature or in the fridge for future use.
Notes
- Brush it on ribs, chicken, or pork before grilling for a caramelized glaze.
- Use it as a dip for chicken tenders or shrimp – a crowd-pleaser.
- Add a drizzle to your stir-fry for an unexpected twist.
