Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (like sunflower or grapeseed)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil. Whisk together until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir well to distribute the flavors evenly.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Continue whisking until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more honey for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or orange juice for extra tang as desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
Serve the dressing immediately over salads, roasted vegetables, or use it as a marinade for proteins like chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
