Servings: 8 oz
Equipment
- Citrus Zester Optional
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon ketchup
- 1 Teaspoon coconut aminos
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 Tablespoon agave nectar or preferred liquid sweetener
- 1 Teaspoon orange juice
- 1/3 Cup water
- 2 Teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Use a ramekin to dissolve the cornstarch in ⅓ cup of water. Pour mixture into a small mixing bowl and combine ketchup, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, agave, and orange juice.
- Add the contents of the bowl to a saucepan and cook over high heat until it starts to boil. Lower heat to a simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Serve warm or cold. Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks
Notes
Stir constantly: This helps prevent the cornstarch from clumping as the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust: Add more vinegar for extra tang or more agave for added sweetness.
Use fresh orange juice: For the best flavor, squeeze juice from a fresh orange instead of using bottled.
Double the batch: This sauce keeps well in the fridge, so make extra to have on hand for quick meals.
