Sweet-and-Sour Orange Sauce image

I was in the mood for some egg rolls and, when trying to think of something to go with them, I opened the fridge and saw way too many oranges. Not finding an orange sweet-and-sour sauce, I made my own. This is sweet and sour with a bit of spice and a beautiful, yet light, orange taste. Perfect over egg rolls, shrimp, chicken, rice, or even stir-fried veggies.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons orange zest, or to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine water, brown sugar, vinegar, orange zest, soy sauce, ginger, cayenne pepper, sriracha sauce, white pepper, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir sauce until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of sauce and combine with cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended and orange zest starts to dissolve.
