Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and fresh orange juice. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Carefully grate the zest of an orange directly into the bowl, ensuring only the orange layer of the peel is used (avoid the white pith as it can be bitter).

Step 3

Add the sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the mixture. Whisk again to combine thoroughly.

Step 4

For a touch of heat, stir in red chili flakes. Adjust the amount to suit your preference for spice.

Step 5

Mix in the thinly sliced scallions for a burst of freshness.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed (e.g., more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness).

Step 7

Transfer the dipping sauce to a small serving bowl. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top, if desired, for extra texture and visual appeal.

Step 8

Serve immediately alongside pot stickers, dumplings, or your favorite snacks. Enjoy!
