How to Make Sweet Spicy Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1-2 Thai chilies (finely minced, adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced by about half. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Return about 1/4 cup of the strained solids (ginger, chilies) to the bowl for added texture and visual appeal.
