Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Coconut Aminos
- 0.25 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 0.25 cup Raw Honey
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and tomato paste. Stir well to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and Chinese five spice powder to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or red pepper flakes for extra heat, depending on your preference.
Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Transfer the cooled BBQ sauce into a glass jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir well before use.
