Honey, Soy and Garlic Sauce with Chilli and Lime

Sweet honey, salty soy, tangy lime and a kick of chilli - a versatile, fuss-free sauce using store cupboard ingredients. Delicious with fish (our favourite is salmon) and chicken or pork, this sauce keeps for a few weeks in the fridge so why not double up the ingredients and save some for a quick meal later.

Recipe Notes

Equipment

kitchen scales and measuring spoons
jam jar and lid or mixing bowl and balloon whisk

Garlic - if you prefer to use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, use 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

Ginger - this would also be nice with some added fresh ginger. You will need around 15g peeled and grated fresh root ginger or try adding ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger.
