Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon grated garlic, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  2. Whisk the ingredients vigorously for 30 seconds until well combined and smooth.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if desired, adding more honey for sweetness or lime for tang.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over your favorite poke bowl ingredients, or use it as a marinade for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

- For best flavor, let the poke sauce sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. You can make it up to 3 days ahead.
- Adjust the ginger and garlic to your preference; for a stronger kick, add an extra ½ teaspoon of each.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tiny pinch of cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with a bit of water) before whisking, though this recipe is designed for a pourable consistency.
