Good dipping sauce. Mine turned out a little too acidic.. I added 2 drops of Stevia while simmering and that seemed to mellow out the OJ and Lime acid. Added lots of ground black pepper. Maybe less orange juice next time. Using fresh ginger is key. I also added the cilantro to the sauce right before serving. Overall, very good.
