⏱ 5 mins 🍽 1 1/2 cups 🏷 Sauces

This recipe presents three distinct Finadene sauces from Guam. The first combines soy sauce and vinegar, ideal for chicken and pork. The second is a coconut milk-based sauce flavoured with garlic and ginger, suited to seafood and poultry. The third is a sharp lemon sauce traditionally served with fish. Each sauce comes together quickly, requiring only a few minutes and simple mixing. The coconut and lemon versions each yield about 1 1/2 cups, while the soy and vinegar sauce makes 1 cup.
