Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup if making the recipe vegan). Stir well until the honey or syrup fully dissolves.

Step 2

Add the sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl. Whisk together to combine evenly.

Step 3

Stir in the water to adjust the consistency of the sauce. Add more water if needed to achieve your desired thickness.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a little more honey or maple syrup. For extra tang, add a splash of rice vinegar.

Step 5

Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or drizzle over sushi, poke bowls, or use as a dip for rolls.

Step 6

Optionally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the sauce for added texture and presentation.
