Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
If desired, stir in toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve the Orange Ginger Sesame Sauce warm or let it cool completely for later use. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
