Notes

The best vinegar for this recipe is a light rice vinegar.
A microplaner works well for the ginger, but it is a lot of work. A regular cheese grater works nearly as well and works faster.
Use a glass container to mix everything. A mason jar works very well; you can close the lid tight and shake it up.
If you are allergic to peanuts, try another very light oil instead, and add an extra teaspoon of sesame oil.
Ensure that you use only fermented soy sauce.
