Orange Sauce

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.
