Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 small Red chilies or Thai bird’s eye chilies (optional), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, fresh lime juice, and water. Stir well to combine the liquid base.
Add the finely diced yellow onion and the sliced green onions to the liquid mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
If you prefer a spicy kick, stir in the thinly sliced red chilies or Thai bird’s eye chilies. Adjust the amount based on your heat tolerance.
Taste the sauce and adjust according to your preference: add more lime juice for tanginess, more soy sauce for saltiness, or more chilies for heat.
Transfer the finished Finadene Sauce into a serving bowl or an airtight container. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sauce as a condiment with grilled meats, seafood, or steamed rice. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
