Ingredients

• 1 cup Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the tamari sauce, granulated erythritol, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together and place the saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to warm up, stirring occasionally, until the erythritol dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the xanthan gum into the water to create a slurry. This ensures the xanthan gum disperses evenly and prevents clumping.

Step 5

Slowly whisk the xanthan gum slurry into the saucepan and continue stirring. The mixture will thicken slightly to form the dressing's signature texture.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dressing cool to room temperature. The dressing will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for up to one week.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving for added texture and flavor.
