  • 1 clove gaarlic, peeled
  • 3/4 cup mirin or rice wine
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar or wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dark molasses

How To Make wasabi ginger sauce

  • Step 1
    Place ginger, shallot and garlic in blender jar; cover blender jar. Set on Low; pulse 5 times. Scrape sides of jar; pulse 5 times. Add remaining ingredients in order given. Blend for 20 seconds. Transfer to a resealable container and let stand for 30 minutes before using, to allow flavors to develop.
  • Step 2
    Unused portions may be refrigerated for up to a week - stir before using.
  • Step 3
    Tip: As a marinade, use about 1 tablespoon of marinade per portion. Meats such as boneless, skinless chicken parts, pork chops, or steaks can be placed in a resealable freezer-weight bag, coated with marinade and frozen. When thawed, they will be fully marinated and ready to cook.
