Asian Infused Soy Sauce

I keep a jar of this in the fridge to have on hand and use it in almost all my Asian recipes. It will make a great dipping sauce for dumplings (wontons) when mixed with a little balsamic vinegar and some mirin. Sometimes I add chilli, but we don't always want chilli in our dinners so I'd rather add it later. A simple stirfry sauce can be made with this, add some fresh coriander and a sliced chilli and some oyster sauce. A jar kept in the fridge will keep for weeks- if you don't use it before then! Adjust flavours to taste. Tamari, dark and light soys can be used. Australian measurements (1 T = 4 tsp)

Elevate your home cooking with this quick, savory Asian-infused soy sauce. Perfect for stir-fries, marinades, or dipping, this vegan-friendly condiment blends aromatic ginger, garlic, and scallions to transform basic soy sauce into a complex, umami-rich masterpiece in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • 250 soy sauce
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 ginger

Method

  1. Add the garlic and ginger to the soy sauce in a sealable jar.

  2. Put the lid on and shake.

  3. Taste the mix to see if you would like more ginger and/or garlic (I like mine fairly strong tasting).

  4. Adjust to taste.

  5. Put the lid on and keep in the fridge. Shake before using. Flavours will infuse the sauce as time goes on.

Cook's notes

  • Use a low-sodium soy sauce if you are monitoring your salt intake.
  • For a deeper flavor, let the sauce steep for 30 minutes before using.
  • Adjust the aromatics by finely mincing them to release more essential oils into the liquid.

Easy swaps

  • Use tamari to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Swap maple syrup for agave nectar or coconut sugar for a refined-sugar-free version.
  • Add a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat.
