In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour some vinegar and add sugar into it. Stir the sugar well in the vinegar and then pour some soy sauce into it.

Add some garlic cloves into this stirred mixture and then sprinkle some cayenne pepper into it. Bring a nonstick cooking pan and pour this stirred mixture into it.

Once you have added the mixture into the cooking pan, you must add the sambal oelek into it just after pouring the mixture.

Keep the heat medium under the pan and then continue stirring the mixture while boiling. The boiling will be done in a few minutes.

If you haven’t added the Sambal Oelek yet, then you must add it at this point. Simmering of 8-10 minutes is required to get the sauce thickened and it will gain the required texture.

Bring some cornstarch and add it to the water. Pour this water and cornstarch slurry into the boiling mixture. Stir it really well after having the smooth top.

Don't over-simmer the boiling mixture as it also gets some thickness when cooled down. So if you have already simmered it too much it will be thickened to another extent.

Now that your glaze is almost ready, let it cool enough in the air, and then bring the glass jars. Pour this glaze into these jars. Make sure to use air-tight containers.

Keep them at room temperature or in the refrigerator and then use them when needed.
