Name: Orange Ginger Sauce
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 2 jalapeños (stemmed, seeded, roughly chopped); 6-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled, roughly chopped); 4 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed); 1 cup maple syrup

Butter Club Notes

This sauce is all about freshness. The orange juice does most of the work, the ginger gives it a clean bite, and the jalapeños sneak in just enough heat to keep everything interesting. It's one of those sauces that's light enough for vegetables but flavorful enough to stand up to grilled tofu or tempeh. I usually keep a jar in the refrigerator because it comes together in just a few minutes and seems to improve almost anything it touches.

Orange Ginger Sauce

Ginger keeps the fresh orange bright while jalapeño slips in a gentle heat. The smooth, sunny sauce wakes up a simple stir-fry without weighing it down.
