Asian Inspired Sesame Sauce


*Stock Photography. Not my Photo*

I LOVE THIS SAUCE. It's super versatile, tangy, sweet & spicy. In addition to using this sauce in the QueerlyRooted Vegan Cauliflower Sesame Chick'n recipe, I love using it to jazz up veggies & rice, glaze salmon & tofu or sauce up some potstickers or gyoza. The options are endless!


Ingredients:

1.5 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp thai garlic chili paste/sauce (adjust for spice preference)

1 tbsp mirin

1 tbsp rice vinegar (dry white wine can be substituted)

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp ketchup

3 tbsp soy sauce, tamari ( gluten free soy sauce), or liquid aminos (soy free)

1 tsp dry ginger powder

1 tbsp coconut sugar ( definitely recommended as it adds a depth to the sweetness but can be subbed with more honey or another preferred sweetener)


Instructions:

In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients over medium heat. Bring to a low boil & let simmer for 5 mins. Reduce to low heat for another 5-7mins to reduce & thicken. Stir often to avoid burning the sugar. Remove from heat and let cool for added thickening.
