Tips
- Use high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor profile - it makes a huge difference!
- Fresh garlic and ginger are key: avoid pre-minced versions for maximum aromatic punch.
- Adjust the chili oil to your personal spice tolerance - start with a little and add more if needed.
- For a smoother sauce, finely mince or grate your garlic and ginger to prevent chunky texture.
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Try experimenting with different types of chili oil or adding a touch of honey for a sweet-spicy variation.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving to ensure perfect balance.
