Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons water for desired consistency
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari sauce for a gluten-free version
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if you want
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger optional for an extra layer of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for tang
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil for richness
  • Pinch of salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, soy sauce (or tamari), honey, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
  • Slowly add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until you reach your desired consistency. You may prefer a thicker sauce or a slightly runnier one, depending on how you plan to use it.
  • Add in rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger (if using), and stir until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt, more honey, or a splash of water as needed to get the perfect balance of flavors.

Notes

  1. Adjust Consistency: Add water or almond milk to thin out the sauce if it’s too thick, or blend in more almond butter for a creamier texture.
  2. Sweet vs. Savory: For a sweet version, use honey or maple syrup; for a savory sauce, opt for soy sauce or tamari.
  3. Flavor Boost: Add a splash of rice vinegar for tang, or a pinch of garlic powder for extra depth.
  4. Make Ahead: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  5. Customization: Experiment with spices like cinnamon or smoked paprika to customize the flavor to your liking.
