Tips for making Homemade Ginger Sauce

• Let sit in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving–this gives it some time for the flavors to meld.
• If you have dark soy sauce, it will make all the difference with a darker color and deep intense flavor. If you don’t no worries, just use regular/light soy in its place.
• Shallots are a great way to improve upon this recipe–they have a milder, more balanced flavor than strong onions.
