Notes
- Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Fresh Ginger Root: If you have never used fresh ginger before, use a spoon to scrape away the brown skin from the exterior, then slice. You could also use pre-packaged minced ginger from the produce section of your local grocery store. You can usually find it refrigerated next to the minced garlic.
- Tamari: Tamari is made from fermented soybeans and is considered the darkest kind of soy sauce. It adds a delicious, salty umami flavor to the sauce. You could substitute normal or dark soy sauce or coconut aminos if needed. Tamari is gluten-free and is a great substitute for soy sauce for anyone with gluten intolerance.
- Fresh Lemon Juice and Zest
- Brown Sugar: You can substitute with white sugar in a pinch
- Rice Vinegar: You could substitute apple cider vinegar, malt vinegar, rice wine vinegar, or plain white vinegar
- The flavor of this sauce improves if it has some time to sit. For the best results, blend it up and leave it to settle in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- If you prefer a chunkier ginger sauce, you can lightly blend to achieve that consistency.
- After blending, you may need to skim the foam off of the top of the ginger sauce to see the nice brown color underneath.
- If you are hoping to save time, you can use the minced ginger found in the produce section at the grocery store.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of each ingredient to achieve the right flavor. The sweetness of different onions and different brands of soy sauce may impact the flavor.
