Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (a low-carb alternative to soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions:
1. Mix the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sugar-free sweetener in a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended.
2. Once the sauce reaches the proper consistency, add the xanthan gum little by little by whisking it in.
3. In the final few minutes of cooking, pour the sauce over the stir-fried ingredients in the pan. To uniformly coat everything, give it a good stir.
4. Should you have any remaining sauce, keep it refrigerated for up to a week in an airtight container.
Use Coconut Aminos: Coconut aminos make an excellent low-carb substitute for soy sauce, providing a similar umami flavor without the carbs.
Thicken with Xanthan Gum: Add the xanthan gum slowly to prevent clumping and whisk thoroughly to achieve a smooth texture for a richer sauce.
Customize Spice Levels: You can add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce for more spicy flavor.
