Ingredients
 

  • ¼ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Organic Cane Sugar or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil or other neutral oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger minced

Instructions

  • Add the soy sauce, orange juice, water, rice vinegar, sugar, cornstarch and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk well to combine and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the garlic and ginger in oil until fragrant.
  • Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 3-4 minutes, or until it coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and use immediately or let cool and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Simmer gently, not rapidly. A gentle simmer helps the sauce thicken evenly without reducing too quickly.
Adjust thickness as needed. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
