Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, and sugar.
- Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater to release its aromatic oils.
- Mince the garlic clove very finely, ensuring it is chopped into tiny, uniform pieces.

- Sprinkle the sugar into the sauce and whisk until completely dissolved, creating a balanced sweet and savory flavor profile.
- Let the sauce sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop a more complex taste.

- Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or small dipping bowl, ready to accompany white cut chicken.
Tips
- • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the most vibrant flavor - pre-minced or dried versions won't deliver the same punch. • Grate the ginger using a microplane for the finest texture and maximum flavor extraction. • Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors are well-integrated. • Let the sauce sit for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop a more complex taste profile. • Taste and adjust the seasoning just before serving - a little extra vinegar or sugar can balance the flavor perfectly. • For best results, serve the sauce at room temperature to allow all the aromatic ingredients to shine. • This versatile sauce isn't just for white cut chicken - try it as a dipping sauce for dumplings or a marinade for grilled meats!
