Instructions

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), and sesame oil.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
If you want a bit of heat, add chili paste or red pepper flakes to your liking.
Mix everything together until well combined. You can also refrigerate the sauce for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Optional: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving for a little extra crunch.

Notes

Sweet and Spicy: Add a few extra teaspoons of chili paste for a spicier kick. You can also experiment with adding a bit of sriracha sauce.
Vegan Version: Use maple syrup or agave nectar in place of honey to make the sauce fully vegan-friendly.
Garlic-Free: Omit the garlic if you prefer a cleaner, less pungent flavor profile.
Add Lime: For a citrus twist, add a teaspoon of lime juice to the sauce for a fresh, zesty kick.
