Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until ginger root and chilis are blended.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, dice ginger finely and use crushed red peppers instead of Thai chilis. Mix all ingredients together with a whisk.
*Thai bird's eye chilis are tiny and very spicy. Using 3 chilis gives this recipe a medium spice level. Use just one or two chilis for a more mild sauce. Substitute with crushed red peppers if you can't find Thai chilis.
**Both miso and mirin work well in this recipe. The result is a bit different with each, but both give the umami taste that gives depth to this sauce instead of using traditional fish sauce.
