A DELICIOUS FINISH
What should you serve with it?
Beer or wine
Japanese lager or off-dry Riesling
Soy’s salt, honey’s sweetness and ginger’s bite need balance. Lager gives a clean, cool contrast; a touch of Riesling sweetness softens the spice without turning cloying.
ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION
Chilled jasmine tea with lime and a little honey.
A delicious alternative that lets the food take centre stage.
