Ingredients
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha or chili garlic sauce until well combined.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and orange zest to the mixture, stirring thoroughly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Heat sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Pour the orange juice mixture into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
