Rice syrup

A thick, mild syrup made from saccharified rice that adds gloss and is less sweet than sugar or honey.

Rice syrup is sold in health food and organic shops, and the lighter Korean kind used for glazes and stir-fries is found in Asian grocery stores.

Substitute:

Glucose syrup or light corn syrup come closest in gloss and mild sweetness, and honey works too but has a pronounced flavour and is sweeter, so use a little less.
