Ingredients
🧄 Garlic Note
Make sure to Grate or Press the Garlic rather than mincing it. Mincing doesn’t allow the garlic to release its oils fully, which is crucial for the sauce’s flavor profile.
Directions
Step 1Â Mix together soy sauce, grated garlic, chili oil, and chopped green onions in a bowl until well combined. Stir before serving as settling may occur.
💡 Sauce Pro Tip
I recommend Preparing in Advance and Refrigerating It. Allowing the sauce to sit in the fridge will give it time to meld its flavors.
Pairing Recommendations
This sauce is specifically crafted to pair perfectly with my Steamed Pork Belly, Boiled Pork Belly, or Crispy Pork Belly recipes, but can be paired with my other pork recipes like Japanese Seared Pork Belly or even my Crispy Air Fryer Pork Belly dish!
