6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger root peeled and chopped
- ½ cup yellow onion finely chopped
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and finely chopping the fresh ginger root and yellow onion. Since the sauce will be blended, precise chopping is not necessary, but smaller pieces ensure a smoother consistency.
- Blend the Sauce: In a blender or mini food processor, combine the ginger, onion, soy sauce, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, and granulated sugar. Blend for approximately one minute or until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste the sauce and adjust if needed. If a sweeter flavor is preferred, add a small amount of additional sugar. For a tangier taste, incorporate a few extra drops of lemon juice or rice vinegar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and use immediately as a dipping sauce for hibachi steak, shrimp, chicken, or vegetables. It may also be drizzled over fried rice or noodles for additional flavor.
Notes
To make this sauce gluten-free, replace the soy sauce with tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce alternative. Ensure all other ingredients are free from gluten contamination.
