Servings: 5
Calories: 8kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon red chilli chopped
- 2 teaspoon ginger chopped
- 2 teaspoon garlic chopped (2 cloves)
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar 120 ml
- ½ cup powdered sweetener 120g *** see notes
- ½ tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce / tamari
- ½ cup hot water 120 ml
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Chop the red chilli, ginger and garlic. Add them to a pan together with the apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos and powdered sweetener.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and let the mix bubble away on a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Mix the hot water with the xanthan gum. Blend well so there are no lumps. Add to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached. Be aware that the sauce will thicken further while it cools.
- Fill into a clean glass jar and let cool.
Notes
I calculated 1 portion = 2 tablespoon of sauce. I think this is a fairly generous calculation - you could probably use this as a dip for up to 8 people.
This recipe made 170g (¾ cup) of sauce.
*** Use allulose if you want no re-crystallisation. Most of the time I use powdered erythritol, which re-crystallises a little around the rim of the jar.
