This Asian-inspired Orange Sauce is the perfect sauce for Orange Chicken or Coconut Shrimp… or even as a cold dipping sauce.
It’s easy to make too.
Orange Sauce
- One 14 ounce jar of orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
- 4-8 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 cup cold water
- One 11-ounce can of whole peeled Mandarin orange segments (with juices)
- Salt
- Coarse ground pepper
Place orange marmalade, sugar, red pepper flakes, Chinese five-spice, garlic, and soy sauce, cornstarch, and cold water in the pan. Whisk together and then place over medium-high heat. Add mandarines with juice after whisking. The sauce will come to a boil. Reduce the heat a bit if needed and continue to cook for a couple of minutes while stirring.
After the sauce thickens, continue to stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Add salt & pepper to your liking.
