Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the fresh ginger until you have about 1 tablespoon.

Step 2

Zest one orange to extract 1 teaspoon of zest, then juice enough oranges to yield 1 cup of fresh juice.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, fresh ginger, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure that the honey dissolves and all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 6

Once the sauce is simmering, slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 7

Continue cooking the sauce for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat, taste, and adjust the flavors if needed by adding more honey for sweetness or a splash of soy sauce for saltiness.

Step 9

Let the sauce cool slightly before using or transferring to a serving container. Serve warm or at room temperature.
