Notes
- Rice vinegar: Also known as rice wine vinegar. Or substitute white vinegar or even lemon juice (the flavor will change).
- Ginger: Store the whole root in the freezer, as-is and grate it when you need it. Some grocery stores also sell tubes of grated ginger in the produce area and it works perfectly here.
- Red chili flakes: Consider omitting these if you’re feeding children or add more if you love the heat.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 1 cup ginger sauce, enough for 8 servings, 2 tablespoons each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
