Maltose is a sugar made from starch, and in Chinese groceries the term usually means maltose syrup, a thick, sticky golden syrup used in cooking and sweets. It is milder in sweetness than table sugar.

What is maltose syrup used for?

Maltose syrup is brushed on roast duck and char siu for a glossy, crisp glaze, and is used in sesame candy, nougat, and other traditional sweets. It also sweetens sauces and drinks.

How do you use maltose syrup?

Warm the jar in hot water so the maltose loosens, then scoop it with a lightly oiled or wet spoon. For glazes, dissolve it with a little hot water, vinegar, or soy sauce before brushing.

What can I substitute for maltose syrup?

Honey or light corn syrup are common substitutes for glazing. They behave a little differently: honey browns faster, and neither is as thick as maltose.

Is maltose the same as malt syrup or corn syrup?

Not exactly. Maltose syrup is mostly maltose sugar from starch such as rice or corn, malt syrup comes from sprouted barley, and corn syrup is mostly glucose. Check the ingredient list on the product.

How should I store maltose?

Store maltose at room temperature with the lid tightly closed. It becomes very stiff in cold weather, so warm the jar in hot water before use.
