Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Use this Asian-inspired basting sauce on shrimp, fish, chicken, or pork during the last 10-15 minutes of the cooking time for an extra splash of flavor. Can also be used as a stir-fry sauce.

The honey will cause this to burn if you let it cook too long on the grill on whatever you are basting. Good recipe but only baste at the end of grilling time (like last 10 minutes).
