- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange juice (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (unsweetened, low-carb)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and orange juice.
Add the rice vinegar and sesame oil to the bowl, whisking gently to blend the liquid ingredients.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until fully incorporated.
If a touch of sweetness is preferred, stir in the granular erythritol or stevia until dissolved.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more lime juice for tartness or a dash more soy sauce for saltiness.
