Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and optional sriracha or chili paste if you prefer a spicy sauce. Whisk again to incorporate.
Taste and adjust the balance of flavors. Add a little more maple syrup for sweetness, a splash of vinegar for tanginess, or a dash of tamari for saltiness, as desired.
