How to Make Dragon Sauce

 

Prep the ingredients: Start by mincing your garlic, chopping your green onions, and grating your ginger (if using).

 

Mix the base: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Stir until the honey fully dissolves.

 

Add the flavor: Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, green onions, and sesame seeds. If using ginger and herbs, add them here too.

 

Taste and tweak: Give it a taste and adjust for sweetness or heat, depending on your preference.

Let it rest: For best flavor, let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld.

 

Store it: Transfer to a jar and keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
