Speedy Orange Sauce for Dipping, Stir Fries or Marinades

This quick orange sauce recipe was shared with us over a decade ago by a vegan company called Vege USA. These days they focus more on food service than retail, but maintain a commitment to veganism and good flavor. Which is why I’m giving this fabulous condiment recipe a refresh.

This easy orange sauce is similar to a popular Asian dipping sauce for spring rolls. However, it’s spiked with the warm, complex flavors of cinnamon and cumin, and can be made mild or spicy to suit your tastes. Enjoy it as a marinade, make it into a special soy-free sauce for stir fries and rice bowls, or go traditional and use it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or other bites.

Orange marmalade is traditionally bitter but also comes in sweet "American" versions. We prefer the sweeter variety for dipping, but feel free to choose the type that suit your tastes.
