Instructions
- 1
Combine the lime juice, white wine, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, minced shallot, and white pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon, 4–5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl, pressing on the solids; discard the solids. Let the reduction cool for 2 minutes.
