Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil sub with avocado or neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • juice from half a lime
  • 1/3 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the water and cornstarch in a small bowl until fully diluted.
  • Whisk in the rest of the ingredients. RIGHT BEFORE cooking, whisk again because the cornstarch sinks to the bottom.
  • Add the sauce to a heated skillet (medium) heat, either on it's own or with your food of choice (tofu, noodles, etc).
    For on it's own, gently whisk in the heat until it thickens (less than a minute). Remove from heat and pour over your food.
    OR, add your food (tofu, noodles) to a heated skillet, pour the sauce into the skillet over medium heat, and gently mix around for a minute until sauce turns to a thick glaze and everything is coated. Shut off heat and serve.

Notes

If you prefer to use fresh ginger and garlic:
Ginger: peel and mince/grate a half inch piece of ginger root. Go from there, fresh ginger can have a bite, similar to garlic.
For garlic, start with one clove and adjust to your taste buds - as I mentioned above, fresh garlic can have a bite.
