Ingredients
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 teaspoons sambal oelek or chili paste
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum

Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 2
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, sambal oelek, and water. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour the sauce mixture and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually sprinkle in the xanthan gum while stirring continuously to avoid clumps.
Step 5
Simmer the sauce for about 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir continuously during this time to ensure even thickening.
Step 6
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with chopped scallions before serving. This sauce can be used immediately, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
