This recipe takes just five minutes to prepare.

"This sauce is a perfect accompaniment to dumplings or spring rolls," says New York City–based recipe developer Beth Lipton. "Whisk in Sriracha instead of adding the crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer—or leave out both for a mild sauce."

Ingredients

¼ cup

coconut aminos, soy sauce, or tamari (if you use soy or tamari, omit salt)

2 teaspoons

unseasoned rice vinegar

1 teaspoon

toasted sesame oil

Fine sea salt

¼ teaspoon

toasted sesame seeds

⅛ teaspoon

raw honey, optional

⅛ teaspoon

crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together aminos, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Taste and season with up to ⅛ teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Whisk in honey and/or red pepper flakes, if desired. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to three days.
