Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (like sunflower or grapeseed)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil. Whisk together until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir well to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 3

While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Continue whisking until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.

Step 4

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more honey for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or orange juice for extra tang as desired.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.

Step 6

Serve the dressing immediately over salads, roasted vegetables, or use it as a marinade for proteins like chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
