4.5 tbsplight soy sauce
1.5 tbspdark soy sauce
1.5 tbspoyster sauce
1.5 tbspShaoxing wine
1.5 tbspcaster sugar

1 tbspcold water
2 tsptoasted sesame oil

Method

In a bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the water, mirin, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
In a small dish, whisk the potato starch with the cold water until smooth so that no clumps remain.
Pour the glaze base mixture into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Give the starch slurry a quick stir to lift any settled starch, then pour it into the simmering glaze while whisking continuously.
Cook for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until the glaze turns glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
