Ginger and Chili
Salsa


This salsa has a curious history because it is a Japanese salsa that is prepared with traditional Japanese ingredients like the ginger and the soy sauce. Then the recipe was unveiled to the world and it was enriched with more ingredients like the oil, the honey, the mustard, etc.

...but that is not the end of the story because the ginger salsa also touched Mexican soil and that’s where it was complemented with chili. It is
a salsa that has ingredients with very different flavors but when they are united in the same salsa the result is amazing – it is an explosion of flavors.



The ginger and chili salsa is very versatile and it can be used in various main courses and it can also be used to season salads or vegetables. We recommend using it in Japanese dishes like sushis or rice because is always fun to taste the flavors of a cuisine, like the Japanese and mixing it with the touch of another cuisine like in this case the Mexican.

– The salsa is not very spicy and although many ingredients are used in the preparation, the unmistakable flavor of the ginger can always be perceived.
