- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy side dish.
- Use a variety of Asian flavors: The glaze for this recipe is made with a variety of Asian flavors, including soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and ginger. Feel free to experiment with other Asian flavors, such as sesame oil, hoisin sauce, or Sriracha.
