Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and sambal into a small pan over medium heat, ensuring all ingredients are together before heating.
Heat and Whisk: Whisk the mixture continuously over medium heat until the jam melts and the sauce becomes smooth. Allow it to simmer gently for about 1 minute, thickening slightly.
Cool: Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing. This will help the flavors meld and the sauce to thicken a bit more.

Notes

You can substitute apricot jam with orange marmalade for a slightly different citrus note.
Adjust the amount of sambal or sriracha to modulate the heat level based on your preference.
This sauce stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Perfect as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, chicken, or drizzled over grilled vegetables.
