Description
Dragon Sauce is a bold and fiery condiment that balances sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. It’s quick to make and highly versatile—perfect for grilled meats, noodle bowls, tacos, and more.
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sriracha (or more to taste)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha.
- Warm over medium heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
- Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Taste and adjust the flavor as needed—add more sriracha for heat, honey for sweetness, or vinegar for tang.
- Remove from heat, let cool, and use as desired.
Notes
- Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
- Replace honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Double the cornstarch for a thicker, glaze-like texture.
- Add mayo or Greek yogurt for a creamy variation.
- Smoked paprika or chipotle chili can add a smoky flavor twist.
