- Fresh ginger is highly recommended and provides a much bolder flavor than ground ginger.
- For a smoother sauce, process for an additional 30 to 60 seconds.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving.
- Freeze in ice cube trays for convenient single-serving portions.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos.
