- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or other hot sauce)

Add the honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder and Chinese five-spice powder. Stir to distribute the spices throughout the mixture.
If the sauce is too thick, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly, until you reach your desired consistency.
