Honey & ginger dressing

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
The 'Holy Trinity' of the Asian flavour profile: ginger, garlic, soy sauce. This is complemented by the sweetness of honey and the acidity of vinegar. This sauce is not an emulsion but a 'dressing' where ingredients mix freely. Sesame oil acts as a seasoning here, not a fat source, so we add it only at the end to preserve its aroma.

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten (in Soy Sauce)

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and finely grate the ginger. Grate the garlic too.

Tip: Cut across the ginger fibres when grating to avoid 'hairy' bits in the sauce.
2 ✓

In a bowl, mix the honey with the soy sauce and rice vinegar until the honey is completely dissolved.

Tip: Cold honey dissolves with difficulty; be patient or warm the honey slightly in the microwave.
3 ✓

Add the grated ginger, garlic and chilli flakes.

Tip: These give the sauce 'body' and texture.
4 ✓

Finally, stir in the sesame oil.

Tip: The scent of toasted sesame oil is very intense but volatile. Do not heat unnecessarily.
5 ✓

Always stir before use as the honey tends to settle at the bottom.

Tip: Excellent for marinating too!
