Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the tamari sauce, granulated erythritol, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Whisk the ingredients together and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Allow the mixture to warm up, stirring occasionally, until the erythritol dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes).
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the xanthan gum into the water to create a slurry. This ensures the xanthan gum disperses evenly and prevents clumping.
Slowly whisk the xanthan gum slurry into the saucepan and continue stirring. The mixture will thicken slightly to form the dressing's signature texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dressing cool to room temperature. The dressing will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for up to one week.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving for added texture and flavor.
