Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Minced fresh ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Water (for thinning, if needed)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), fresh lime juice, and rice vinegar.
Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and honey (or maple syrup) to the mixture. Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
Mix in the crushed red pepper flakes and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to reach your desired consistency.
Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
Taste the sauce and adjust flavors as needed—add more lime juice for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or soy sauce for saltiness.
Serve the dipping sauce immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if stored.
