- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Paste (optional for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch, and stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, soy-free hoisin sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil.
If you are using chili paste for heat, add it to the saucepan as well.
Stir the mixture gently and heat until it begins to simmer.
Once simmering, add the cornstarch and water mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Continue to simmer the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches your desired consistency, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt to taste.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
