A friend just gave me a lot of ginger. I am making ginger sauce. The first time I had ginger sauce was at Benihanas on my steak. I also use this sauce when I make pesto salmon steaks
1 large yellow onion, chopped, 1/4 cup fresh ginger peeled and chopped, 1 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp. light brown sugar, 1/8 tsp. unsalted butter, 2 1/2 T. white vinegar, 2 T. fresh lemon juice, Zest of 1 lemon
Get out the food processor. Add everything blend until you have a paste. Do not make this sauce smooth.
PICKLED GINGER
1/2 cup fresh ginger, peeled, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. chicken bouillon, 1 cup rice vinegar, 1/8 cup raw honey, 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes.
Add the ginger, and salt in a bowl, combine and set aside. In a saucepan, add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer cook for 5-minutes. Pour over the ginger. Refrigerate. When cool, slice into paper-thin strips.
