- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce. Whisk until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
If desired, stir in red chili flakes for an extra layer of heat.
Fold in the finely chopped cilantro to add a fresh, herbal note to the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a touch more honey for sweetness, more lime juice for tang, or extra chili flakes if you prefer it spicier.
