Why This Recipe Works

To achieve the bright, gingery bite of the sweet ginger sauce served in Japanese steakhouses, we blended savory soy sauce, vibrant rice vinegar, and sugar with bracing, spicy fresh onion and ginger. The irresistible result was perfect for accompanying our Japanese Steakhouse Steak and Vegetables.
