- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the guava juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
