Notes

Use as a Marinade: This sauce works great as a marinade for chicken, beef, or salmon. Marinate the meat in an airtight container or bag for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
Strain: If you want a smooth sauce you can strain the sauce to remove the bits of garlic and ginger.
Double the Recipe: The sauce stores great, and if you double it, you'll love having it on hand for easy weeknight dinners.
