Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Green onion (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger until you have 1 tablespoon. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and wasabi paste. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to the bowl. Whisk well to incorporate all ingredients.
Gradually whisk in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. The sauce should be smooth and slightly runny but not too thin.
If using green onion, stir it in for an added pop of flavor and texture.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding more wasabi for heat, soy sauce for saltiness, or honey for sweetness as desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dipping sauce, salad dressing, or drizzle over grilled seafood or vegetables.
