    Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce Adds Flavor to Your Meals

    April 17, 2022 Filed Under: Condiments, Sauces

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce is a delicious combination of Asian flavors for a sweet and spicy sauce that can be used for dipping, grilling, stir frys and more.

    This Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce is bursting with sweet and spicy flavors and is delicious as a dipping sauce, stir fry sauce or slathered on top of grilled or roasted chicken or fish for an easy meal.

    When a recipe starts with 12 cloves of garlic, I immediately recognize it as one of my brother's concoctions. As a teen, he used to make garlic dip with just enough sour cream to hold the garlic together.

    In all fairness, the recipe below makes about 2 cups of sauce which is quite a bit. I cut it in half and have it stored in a jelly jar along with my other sauces in the fridge.

    Ways to Use Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce

    The photos show it used as a dipping sauce for chicken strips, but it is good in so many ways.

    I used it as a dipping sauce for Beef Fondue (recipe coming soon). And it would be amazing with egg rolls or pot stickers.

    Besides dipping, you can pour it over chicken, fish fillets or pork chops and bake it in the oven, or slather it on the last few minutes of grilling.

    Mix it with some rice or noodles for a delicious side dish.

    Or sauté up some vegetables and leftover rice or noodles, add some leftover protein and add the sauce on top for an easy stir fry.

    If you or your family doesn't like a chunky sauce *cough* my husband *cough*, puree it in the blender for a smooth sauce. Same flavor, but a bit more intense.
