In a medium saucepan, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and sesame oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan, stirring continuously until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Stir in the Swerve brown sugar substitute and tomato paste until well incorporated.
Add sambal oelek and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the xanthan gum with water until completely dissolved to create a slurry.
Gradually whisk the slurry into the saucepan. This will thicken the sauce.
Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Store in the refrigerator and shake well before each use. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.
