Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measuring tools to ensure precise measurements.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos as the base liquid component, providing a soy sauce alternative that's both paleo and keto-friendly.
- Add rice vinegar to the bowl, which will provide a subtle tangy brightness to the sauce and help balance the flavors.
- Pour in the sesame oil, which will contribute a rich, nutty undertone and enhance the overall Asian-inspired flavor profile.
- Grate fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater to release its aromatic and zesty essence, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Sprinkle garlic powder into the mixture, which will add depth and a consistent garlic flavor throughout the sauce.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until completely combined and smooth, ensuring no separation between components.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, though the proportions are already balanced for optimal flavor.
- Use immediately as a stir fry sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh ginger whenever possible for the most vibrant flavor. If you don't have a microplane, finely mince the ginger with a sharp knife.
- For a perfectly smooth sauce, whisk ingredients vigorously or use a small blender to ensure complete integration.
- This sauce is incredibly versatile - use it not just for stir fries, but as a marinade for meats, a dipping sauce, or a quick flavor boost for vegetables.
- If you're sensitive to garlic, you can substitute fresh minced garlic for the powder, using about 1 small clove.
- Store the sauce in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to maintain its fresh flavor and prevent any potential plastic taste absorption.
- For those avoiding rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar makes an excellent substitute while maintaining the tangy profile.
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference - cooking is an art, and you're the artist!
