Time 45m

Yield 4

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or to taste
½ teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
