Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup Sweet onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, water, granulated erythritol, apple cider vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped sweet onion to the saucepan.

Step 3

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and the flavors meld together.

Step 4

Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 7

Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds when serving.
