1 teaspoon salt

Tips:

Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your sauce a more vibrant color.
Choose a good quality honey: The honey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your sauce. Look for a honey that is dark and flavorful.
Don't overcook the ginger: If you cook the ginger for too long, it will become bitter. Cook it just until it is fragrant and tender.
Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars will give your sauce different flavors. Experiment with different types of vinegar to find the one you like best.
Add a little bit of spice: If you like your sauce with a little bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
