How to Make Duck Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon orange marmalade, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. For a spicier sauce, add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes in step 1. For extra sweetness, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of plum preserves in step 4.
