Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, coconut milk, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and grated ginger.
  2. Step 2: Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and to blend flavors.
  3. Step 3: Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring for 2–3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy.

This glaze can be made vegan by substituting honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Store in the refrigerator up to one week. Warm gently before use. Try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for extra flavor.
