Honey, Soy and Garlic Sauce with Chilli and Lime
Sweet honey, salty soy, tangy lime and a kick of chilli – a versatile, fuss-free sauce using store cupboard ingredients. Delicious with fish (our favourite is salmon) and chicken or pork, this sauce keeps for a few weeks in the fridge so why not double up the ingredients and save some for a quick meal later. Serve with rice or noodles and dress up with spring onions and sesame seeds and you have a spectacular tasting and looking dish on the table in less than half an hour.
How to make Honey, Soy and Garlic Sauce with Chilli and Lime

How to make it:
Measure all the ingredients into a jam jar, screw on the lid firmly and shake well. Alternatively, measure into a small bowl and mix with a balloon whisk. All done and ready to cook.

Ingredients
- 80g runny honey
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman reduced salt)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon)
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder *1
- ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
Instructions
-
Either:
a) mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, OR
b) measure the ingredients directly into a jam jar. Screw on the lid and shake well to mix.
-
Baste over cooked fish, chicken or pork. Boil for a couple of minutes to thicken and reduce.
Recipe Notes
Equipment
- kitchen scales and measuring spoons
- jam jar and lid or mixing bowl and balloon whisk
Garlic – if you prefer to use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, use 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
Ginger – this would also be nice with some added fresh ginger. You will need around 15g peeled and grated fresh root ginger or try adding ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger.
