Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar (unsweetened, Whole30-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted, optional for added depth)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Do not boil the sauce, as it may become too thick or reduce too much.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice, sesame oil (if using), and red pepper flakes (if desired).
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or container with a lid.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before using.
Drizzle over sushi rolls, poke bowls, or roasted vegetables, or use as a dip for sashimi or crudités.
