- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- Zest of ½ mandarin orange
- 1 tablespoon water (optional)
- 1 tablespoon corn starch (optional)
Preparation
Combine mandarin orange juice, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes in a sauce pot. Reduce to 1½ cups. Add soy sauce and mandarin orange zest and bring to a simmer. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, if desired.
