Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups almond butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the almond butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil.
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the bowl and whisk again until evenly incorporated.
Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less water; for a thinner drizzle, add all 4 tablespoons or more as needed.
If you’d like a bit of heat, stir in the red pepper flakes.
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed. Add a pinch of salt if it needs more saltiness or a dash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or jar and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
