Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tomato paste, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Add the sriracha and smoked paprika to the saucepan. Stir again until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, creating a slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring. The sauce will begin to thicken as it heats.
Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Use this savory Vegan Asian BBQ Sauce as a glaze for grilled vegetables, tofu, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.
