Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Then, add the ginger, garlic, red chili flakes, and coarse black pepper.

Thicken (Optional): If you desire a thick and glossy sauce, whisk in the 2 teaspoons of arrowroot starch (or corn starch) until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust any of the ingredients to your preference. You might want more chili flakes for heat, a touch more maple syrup for sweetness, or a little more soy sauce for saltiness.

Use your prepared sauce over your favorite Asian-inspired take-out meals.

Notes

Traditionally Brewed Soy Sauce: If using regular soy sauce (which is saltier), add 1 tablespoon of water and increase the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons to balance the flavor.

Coconut Aminos: If you are using coconut aminos, skip the maple syrup since it already provides a sweet flavor.

Red Chili Flakes Options: This stir-fry sauce will go great with gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), Aleppo pepper (Mediterranean red pepper flakes), or crushed red pepper.
