Kabayaki-Glazed Sauce

Kabayaki sauce is a sweet-savory soy sauce base glaze to coat vegetables or other ingredients after or while broiling them or frying them. 

The most famous Kabayaki dish is unagi-kabayaki (grilled-eel).

But of course here, we will use it on vegetables.

Kabayaki sauce is usually a bit thicker than teriyaki sauce.
