Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Swerve (or another low-carb granular sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Red pepper flakes or sriracha (for spice)
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water.
Add the Swerve sweetener, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener and evenly distribute the ingredients.
If you want a spicy kick, stir in red pepper flakes or a few drops of sriracha.
Taste the sauce and adjust as needed: add more sweetener for a sweeter profile, more vinegar for extra tang, or more water to dilute the intensity.
Transfer the sauce to a small serving dish or drizzle directly over your sushi. Optionally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
