Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup apple juice, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot powder and water to create a slurry. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, freshly squeezed orange juice, unsweetened apple juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, add the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan. Stir continuously to prevent clumping.
Continue to simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using.
Serve over your favorite Whole30-compliant dishes or use as a dipping sauce.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
