- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger

Instructions
- Step 1: In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
