SPICY GINGER AND LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Give the ingredients a good stir and then set the bowl aside.
• Allow the sauce to sit on the counter for a minimum of 10 minutes. You may also allow the sauce to sit overnight and use the next day; just cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. After the 10 minutes, or overnight, taste the sauce and see if it is to your taste or if it needs tweaking. You may at this time also want to think about what you'll be using it on and if you should add more soy sauce.
