You guys, this sauce is AH-mazing. Like, lick the spoon amazing.

I’ve been making this same basic sauce for years now. It’s an Asian inspired sauce that comes together easily with many variations, but generally, the main ingredients include ginger, garlic, honey, and soy sauce.

When  Barrow’s Intense contacted me recently to see if I was interested in testing out their product, I didn’t have to think twice. Afterall, ginger is hand’s down one of my favorite flavors. Ask Chuck, I would eat ginger every day if allowed. The liqueur is surprisingly smooth and wonderfully delicious. Unfortunately, being less than 2 months into breastfeeding means that I’m not exactly able to partake in too many cocktails.

That’s when this sauce came to mind.

First, the garlic is sauteed to release its flavor, then the liqueur is added. That smooth and flavorful liqueur reduces down to an even more amazing syrupy sauce. Adding in the honey not only sweetens the mixture but gives it a little thickness. The soy sauce brings a salty Asian kick that rounds it all out.

For these pork chops, the sauce is used as a glaze to finish the dish, which is something that you can do with various types of meat, but more than once I’ve used it drizzled it over vegetables. Additionally, it makes a wonderful stir fry sauce.  It’s wonderfully versatile, which is what makes it a house favorite. Ginger Honey Glazed Pork Chops

If you are interested in making this sauce without the liqueur swap it out for about a thumbs worth of fresh ginger and add about 1/2 a cup of water or broth.
