Note

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The fresh vegetables may soften over time.

For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of chili oil and red pepper flakes. For extra heat, add more fresh ginger or a dash of sriracha.

This sauce pairs beautifully with cold soba noodles, stir-fried tofu, steamed broccoli, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.

Ensure the cucumber is well-drained after chopping to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
