Ingredients
- 0.5 cups almond butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, add the almond butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil.
Step 2
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the bowl and whisk again until evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less water; for a thinner drizzle, add all 4 tablespoons or more as needed.
Step 5
If you’d like a bit of heat, stir in the red pepper flakes.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed. Add a pinch of salt if it needs more saltiness or a dash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or jar and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
