How to Make Another Five Spice Marinade Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon chili oil, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon five-spice powder, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Chill the marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Divide the marinade in half. Place one half in a resealable bag or shallow dish with 1 pound of your favorite meat (chicken, beef, pork, or tofu). Marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer for maximum flavor (up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  4. Remove meat from marinade; reserve the marinade.
  5. Cook the marinated meat according to your preferred method (grill, pan-fry, bake, etc.).
  6. While the meat cooks, bring the remaining marinade to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the marinade by about one-third, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will thicken the sauce and intensify the flavors.
  7. Brush the reduced marinade onto the meat during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
  8. Serve the remaining reduced marinade as a delicious dipping sauce for your cooked meat.
