Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir to mix evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, creating a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously. This will thicken the sauce as it cooks.
Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep stirring to ensure it stays smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and presentation.
Serve the Sweet Spicy Dipping Sauce warm or at room temperature with your favorite appetizers, fried dishes, or grilled meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
