Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut Aminos
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and ingredients are mixed well.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce mixture while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
If you prefer a bit of heat, stir in the chili flakes.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the sauce thickens properly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before using it in your stir fry.
Use immediately, or let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
