Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the coconut milk and unsalted vegetable broth, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed (you can add more lime juice or a touch of sweetness if desired, but avoid adding salt to keep the sauce low sodium).
