Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Coconut Aminos
- 0.25 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 0.25 cup Raw Honey
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and tomato paste. Stir well to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 2
Add the minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and Chinese five spice powder to the saucepan.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or red pepper flakes for extra heat, depending on your preference.
Step 5
Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Step 6
Transfer the cooled BBQ sauce into a glass jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 7
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir well before use.
