    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 5 minutes
    • Cooking time: 0 minutes
    • Total time: 5 minutes

    Serves: 2

    Ingredients

    1 small garlic clove
    2½ cm piece fresh root ginger
    1 small red chilli, finely chopped
    4 tbsp light soy sauce
    2 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar
    2 tsp sesame oil
    1 tbsp light brown soft sugar

    Method

    1. Use a very fine grater (such as a Microplane) to grate the garlic and ginger into a bowl. Add the chopped chilli, soy sauce, Chinese rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar; whisk to combine.

    Variations
    Try adding 1-2 tbsp peanut butter, or a little chopped salad onion. Or swap the Chinese rice vinegar for lime or tangerine juice.

    How to serve
    Spoon the sauce over a noodle or rice bowl, topped with grilled prawns, chicken or steak, plus lots of vegetables (think edamame beans, avocado, broccoli and shredded, pickled carrot) just before serving. You can also use it to dress Asian salads and stir-fries.
