I recently had a request for the Tomato Ginger dipping sauce that we used to do at the Lynchburg Hilton with our Tempura Vegetables. Going along with our friends Sonia and Kat, I found it appropriate to add it in our list of recipes. This recipe was not mine, it was the creation of our Sous (now executive) Chef, Emiliano. I really learned a lot from Emil, our styles were so different that our specials were more a East meets West fusion, which led to some very interesting combinations/creations.

1 cup Tomato Puree
Juice of 2 limes
1 t grated ginger
1 t soy sauce
1 t roasted sesame oil
1 t finely chopped cayenne or serrano pepper

Combine all in a glass bowl. Allow to marry for 2 hours before serving. The sauce would keep for a couple days, but increased with intensity the longer it sat.
