- 0.25 cup Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tomato paste, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 2
Add the sriracha and smoked paprika to the saucepan. Stir again until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
