FAQ

Can I substitute the soy sauce with something else if I am on a low-sodium diet?

Yes, you can substitute the soy sauce with a low-sodium version or coconut aminos, which also offer a rich, savory flavor with less sodium. However, these changes may slightly alter the overall flavor profile of the sauce.

Can I use powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger?

While I recommend fresh ginger for the best flavor, you can use powdered ginger if that’s what you have on hand. As a general rule, use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe.

How long can this sauce be stored, and how should I store it?

The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Be sure to stir it before using it again, as the ingredients may separate over time.

Can I use this sauce with other dishes besides grilled tuna?

Absolutely, this Sesame-Soy Dipping Sauce is versatile and can complement many dishes. It pairs well with other types of fish, grilled chicken, or even as a dipping sauce for dumplings or spring rolls.
