If you want this to be a bit spicier, up the wasabi paste to your desired taste.
1 1½-x-1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 small shallot, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, peeled
¾ cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)
¾ cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1½ tablespoons prepared wasabi paste
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. Put the ginger, shallot and garlic into a blender jar. Pulse on low about 5 times to chop. Scrape down the sides of the jar and pulse a few more times until evenly chopped. Add the remaining ingredients. Blend on Low for 20 to 30 seconds, until completely homogenous.
2. Transfer to a separate container and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
