Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Sweet onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, water, granulated erythritol, apple cider vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped sweet onion to the saucepan.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds when serving.
