Ingredients

4 tablespoon butter
½ cup honey
⅓ cup sriracha
1 tablespoon fresh garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely chopped
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon red pepper optional - more or less to taste

Instructions

Add the butter to a small saucepan over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the chopped garlic, and chopped ginger to the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
*Although fresh ginger and garlic are preferred, you can use ginger powder and garlic powder instead ( season to taste).
Add the red pepper to the butter and whisk to combine.
Add the sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce and whisk to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes more, then remove it from the heat and set it aside until needed.

Notes

Pure maple syrup can be used instead of honey. Other types of syrups will not work as well.

Sweet chili sauce, or your favorite hot sauce can be used in place of the sriracha sauce. The heat level will change depending on what type you use.

Powdered garlic and powdered ginger can be used, but the flavor will be less intense.

Lemon or lime juice can be used instead of rice vinegar, but it will add a more sour flavor.
