ginger sauce

Zesty Asian drizzle

Ginger sauce is a condiment or cooking sauce featuring ginger as its primary flavoring.

Asian cuisines use it extensively—the sharp, slightly sweet sauce served with dim sum, drizzled over steamed fish, or used as a stir-fry base.

Western versions often appear as glazes for meat or seafood: The salmon came with a honey ginger sauce.
