Ingredients

You’ll need:

For the sauce:
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (to make it gluten free)
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press

1/2 cup Orange juice

1/2 cup Orange juice
3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons Honey or agave nectar

2 tablespoons Soy sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Soy sauce is a salty sauce made from soybeans. It’s used in many Asian dishes, like stir-fries and soups. One tablespoon of soy sauce contains about 10% of the daily recommended value of sodium.

1 tablespoon Sesame oil

This is an optional ingredient, but it adds a lot of flavor and makes the dish taste more authentic. You can substitute sesame oil with any other vegetable oil or even olive oil if you want to go that route. However, if you’re looking for something more Asian-inspired, peanut and canola oils are good options too!

2 tablespoons Honey

Honey is a natural sweetener, and it’s better for your health than refined sugar and other artificial sweeteners.
Honey is rich in antioxidants that can help protect against heart disease and cancer.
The glycemic index of honey is low–it doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes like other sugars do, so it won’t leave you feeling sluggish after eating this dish!
