- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Green onion (optional, finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger until you have 1 tablespoon. Set aside.

If using green onion, stir it in for an added pop of flavor and texture.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding more wasabi for heat, soy sauce for saltiness, or honey for sweetness as desired.
