How to Make Wasabi Ginger Sauce

  1. Finely mince 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, 1 shallot, and 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. Combine the minced ginger, shallot, and garlic in a blender jar.
  3. Add 1/4 cup mirin or rice wine, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon wasabi paste (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar to the blender jar.
  4. Secure the blender lid and blend on low speed for 20 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until smooth.
  5. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  6. For use as a marinade, use approximately 1 tablespoon of sauce per serving of meat or seafood. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best results.
  7. For salads, use as a dressing. For dipping sauce, serve chilled.
  8. Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before using.
