Savory Yuzu And Ginger Sauce
Yuzu is an extremely sour Japanese citrus fruit that is most often combined with soy sauce as a dip for fried foods, particularly dumplings. We find that the brightness of the yuzu makes it work well as a pan sauce for seared chicken breasts. This sauce can also be used as a dip for fried chicken wings.
Ingrediënten
MAKES: 120 ml
- 10 ml safflower oil
- ½ shallot minced
