▢ 1 teaspoon ginger minced or paste
▢ 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
▢ ¼ cup maple syrup

NOTES

Quality ingredients: Opt for high-quality miso paste and sesame oil since they’re the backbone of this sauce. Premium ingredients ensure a richer, more authentic flavor.

Whisk thoroughly: Make sure the ingredients are well-combined for a smooth, consistent sauce free of lumps or separation.

Let it sit: Allowing the sauce to rest for a few hours lets the flavors meld and deepen, enhancing the overall taste.

Use it sparingly: Given its rich flavor profile, a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount of this sauce in your recipes, and increase it gradually.

Serve at room temperature: Bringing the sauce to room temperature before serving helps to unlock its full range of flavors.
