This recipe prepares one jar of sauce which is enough for 2-3 meals. It can be easily stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Add to the pan or heat for a while in a pot.

Ingredients:

  • 6 Tbsp. of Sake (or white wine)

  • 6 Tbsp. of rice vinegar

  • 6 Tbsp. of Tamari sauce

  • Stevia to taste (about 6-10 drops)

  • 1/4 teaspoon guar gum

  • Sesame seeds

Method:

  • Cook the Sake and vinegar in a small saucepan until the alcohol vaporizes and you can’t smell it anymore.
  • Add the tamari and a few drops of Stevia (better a few, taste it and add if necessary) until you get the flavor you like.
  • Mix everything well and leave it on low heat for about 2 more minutes.
  • Add the guar gum and mix to incorporate it well into the sauce.
  • Turn off the heat and add some sesame seeds.
  • The sauce should come out somewhat thick and silky. If it comes out too thick, you can add a tablespoon of each of the liquid ingredients and taste and adjust with stevia.
  • Keep refrigerated
