  • 1 oz of fresh squeezed lime juice
  • ½ oz finely grated ginger

Instructions

1. Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño, then dice into small pieces. Remove the peel and pit from the avocado, then slice into cubes. Set both aside.
2. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin (or brown sugar), lime juice, and ginger in a bowl.
