Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sauce with sushi, dumplings, spring rolls, grilled tofu, rice bowls, noodles, steamed vegetables, or stir-fried dishes. It also works as a marinade for chicken, salmon, mushrooms, or tofu.Recipe Notes
Grate the ginger finely so its flavour spreads evenly throughout the sauce. Whisk before every use because the ginger and black pepper naturally settle. Tamari contains considerable sodium, so additional salt is unnecessary.Variations
Add chilli flakes, chilli oil, or sriracha for heat. Fresh lime juice creates a brighter sauce, while toasted sesame seeds add texture. Finely chopped spring onions or fresh coriander can be added immediately before serving.Dietary Advice
Use tamari that is specifically certified gluten-free because not every soy sauce or tamari product meets gluten-free standards. This recipe contains soy and sesame and is therefore unsuitable for soy-free or sesame-free diets.Wine Advice
A dry Riesling balances the salty tamari, ginger, and rice vinegar. A crisp Sauvignon Blanc also works well when the sauce accompanies vegetables, sushi, or grilled fish.Nutrition values
