In 2018, Food & Wine named this recipe one of our 40 best: This ginger sauce is served with Hakka-Style Salt-Baked Chicken but is great for brightening simple meals. Heating the oil cooks the ginger just enough to mellow its spice, leaving you with a fresh sauce you’ll want to drizzle on everything.
