Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup organic soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup organic chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup organic rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons organic hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons organic honey (or agave syrup for a vegan alternative)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon organic ginger, grated
  • 2-3 organic green onions, finely chopped
  • 1-2 teaspoons organic chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon organic sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon organic cornstarch (mixed with 2 teaspoons water to make a slurry, optional for thickening)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Combine the Ingredients:

  1. Mix the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, broth, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and honey. Stir over medium heat until the honey is fully dissolved.
  2. Add Flavor: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and chili flakes to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate.
  3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Thicken (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce for dipping or coating, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Increase the heat slightly and stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your liking.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. This adds a nutty aroma and flavor that completes the sauce.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra touch of texture and flavor.

Tips for Use:

  • Marinade: For a flavorful marinade, immerse chicken, tofu, or vegetables in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Dipping Sauce: Serve alongside spring rolls, dumplings, or as a dipping sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
  • Stir-fry Sauce: Use it to add a spicy, savory glaze to stir-fried dishes, adding it in the last few minutes of cooking.

Storage:

  • Refrigeration: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will continue to develop over time.

Enjoy this Asian Fusion Organic Marinade & Dipping Sauce as a spicy, sweet, and umami-rich addition to your favorite dishes, bringing a touch of General Tso’s-inspired flavor to your table with an organic twist.
