Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut aminos
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar (unsweetened, Whole30-compliant)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted, optional for added depth)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Do not boil the sauce, as it may become too thick or reduce too much.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice, sesame oil (if using), and red pepper flakes (if desired).

Step 5

Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or container with a lid.

Step 6

Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before using.

Step 7

Drizzle over sushi rolls, poke bowls, or roasted vegetables, or use as a dip for sashimi or crudités.
