How to Make Asian Ginger Sauce For Fish

  1. Whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger), 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 clove minced garlic in a small bowl.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
