• Simmer gently
  Set over medium heat and bring to a light simmer, then cook 4 minutes, stirring often so it does not catch. 🔥
• Thicken correctly
  Mix cornstarch with cold water until fully smooth, then whisk it into the simmering sauce. Cook 60–90 seconds until glossy and lightly thick. ✨
• Finish off heat
  Turn off heat, stir in sesame oil, scallions, and sesame seeds, then rest 5 minutes to mellow and deepen. 🌿
• Use or store
  Use warm as a glaze, or cool fully and store in a jar in the fridge up to 7 days. 🫙
