Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the wasabi paste, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
Step 2
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and the honey is dissolved.
Step 3
Add the sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the mixture. Continue whisking to incorporate the flavors evenly.
Step 4
Slowly add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency. If using this as a dressing, you can make it slightly more watery; for dipping, keep it thicker.
Step 5
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a teaspoon of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce and whisk until smooth.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the balance of sweetness, heat, or saltiness by adding a touch more honey, wasabi, or soy sauce as needed.
Step 7
Transfer to a serving bowl if using as a dip, or drizzle over salads, grilled proteins, or roasted vegetables as a dressing. Enjoy!
