Make the sweet chili sauce: combine the honey, rice vinegar, water, tamari, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the honey dissolves, about 2 minutes. Whisk the 1 tsp tapioca starch with 1 tsp cold water in a small bowl until smooth, then pour into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
