Ingredients

1 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped green onion
4 tbsp coconut sugar (or sub for brown sugar - just note this is not paleo compliant)
1 tsp 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 tsp garlic infused olive oil)
1/2 tsp crushed chili peppers (also called chili flakes)
1 piece of fresh ginger, 2cm x 2cm, peeled and chopped (or sub 1 tsp 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!

Recipe 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 tsp crushed chili peppers instead of 1/2 tsp (or omit it altogether for a less spicy sauce)
For a thicker sauce add an extra 1/2 tsp tapioca starch
