Asian Spicy Dipping Sauce

Asian Spicy Lime, Ginger, & Soy Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced (may substitute 1 teaspoon crushed dried hot chiles)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced (optional; recommended if using this sauce for a meat marinade)
• juice from 2 limes
• 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1.Assemble the ingredients: jalapeno pepper (or substitute crushed dried hot chili peppers), ginger, limes, tamari or soy sauce, honey

2. Peel and grate the ginger.

3. Cut half a jalapeno into thin slices. Then dice it. I like it spicy, so I leave in the seeds and membrane. For a milder version, remove seeds and membranes before cutting.  You can substitute crushed dried hot chiles, if you prefer.

4. Juice the limes.

5.Combine all of the ingredients and stir. You can throw a minced garlic clove in there, too. chill in fridge for 1-2 hours. If it tastes too salty, add another dash of honey.
