Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) Sweet onion
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey
- 2 cloves (minced) Fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, 1/4 cup water, finely chopped sweet onion, raw honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the onions soften and the sauce becomes fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously. This will help thicken the sauce.
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
If desired, stir in the sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor before removing the saucepan from heat.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before blending if you prefer a smooth teriyaki sauce. Use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender to blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or let the sauce cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
