Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly grated garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for gluten-free version)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and monk fruit sweetener.

Step 3

Stir the mixture thoroughly and heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry.

Step 5

Continue stirring over low heat for another 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary (e.g., add more tamari for saltiness or more monk fruit sweetener for a sweeter profile).

Step 8

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve as a dipping sauce, drizzle, or side condiment for your sushi creations or rice dishes.
