Notes
- Adjust sweetness or saltiness by varying brown sugar and soy sauce amounts to fit your taste.
- Omitting cornstarch will yield a thinner marinade consistency; increase cornstarch and simmer longer for a thicker glaze.
- Simmer longer for more developed flavors but expect the sauce to thicken further and reduce in volume.
