Kori's Tips

Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out!

SUBSTITUTIONS: Use coconut aminos soy alternative or low sodium tamari sauce. Use any brown sugar substitute with a 1:1 sugar ratio. Make it spicy with red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce. Use apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar if you prefer.

TOP TIPS: Dissolve the xanthan gum by mixing it with the sesame oil before adding to the sauce. Coconut aminos is slightly sweeter than tamari sauce so you may need to add a little extra (1 to 2 tablespoons) brown sugar if you use tamari. Add it according to taste.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Makes a great marinade or condiment for beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetables. Tastes amazing drizzled over rice and many Asian dishes.
