Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 4 tablespoon coconut sugar (or sub for brown sugar - just note this is not paleo compliant)
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch (this is used for thickening the sauce - you can omit it the sauce just won't be as thick)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or sub 1 teaspoon garlic infused olive oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili peppers (also called chili flakes)
- 1 piece of fresh ginger, 2cm x 2cm, peeled and chopped (or sub 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into your Vitamix or other high speed blender and blend well until smooth.
- Transfer the ingredients to medium sized pot on the stove and turn to medium heat.
- Bring the ingredients to a boil and turn down the heat to low.
- Simmer for ~5 minutes and then turn off the heat.
- Let the sauce cool (it will thicken slightly during this time).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store this sauce in the fridge for 10-14 days.
- You can omit the tapioca starch, just note that it is used for thickening so the sauce won't turn out as thick.
- For a spicier sauce, use 1 teaspoon crushed chili peppers instead of 1/2 teaspoon (or omit it altogether for a less spicy sauce).
- For a thicker sauce add an extra 1/2 teaspoon tapioca starch.
