Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 Scallions, sliced thin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, and honey. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Slowly whisk in the sesame oil to enhance the aroma and create a balanced flavor profile.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste if needed.
Gently fold in the thinly sliced scallions to incorporate a fresh, mild onion flavor.
Divide the mixture if you're using it as both a marinade and dipping sauce. For the marinade, pour over your choice of proteins or vegetables, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor infusion. For dipping sauce, serve in a small bowl or drizzle over cooked dishes.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
