Spicy Honey Garlic Dipping Sauce
This no-cook sauce balances sticky honey with salty soy sauce, tangy rice vinegar and a kick of sriracha and chili. It takes minutes to whisk together and is easy to adjust to your taste. Serve it with spring rolls, dumplings, chicken wings or anything crispy.
Preparation Steps
Put the honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl and whisk until the honey has dissolved.
Add the garlic, sriracha, chili flakes, ginger if using, and black pepper, and whisk again.
Stir in the water a little at a time until the sauce is as thick or thin as you like.
Taste and adjust: add more honey for sweetness or more sriracha or chili flakes for heat.
Let the sauce sit for 10 minutes if you have time so the garlic can mellow, then pour into a small serving bowl.
Tips & Variations
- If your honey is very thick, warm it for a few seconds in the microwave so it blends smoothly.
- For a twist, add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of smoked paprika, or a spoonful of mayonnaise for a creamy version.
- Store the sauce in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week and stir before using.
