Sugar Free Keto Teriyaki Sauce
Description
The Sugar Free Keto Teriyaki Sauce recipe starts by gently frying minced garlic and grated ginger in toasted sesame oil to release their aromas and deepen flavor. Tamari and coconut aminos provide salty, umami depth, while erythritol adds sweetness. Apple cider vinegar and a touch of black pepper give brightness and mild spiciness. After simmering the mixture briefly, xanthan gum is whisked in to thicken the sauce, producing the smooth, shiny texture characteristic of teriyaki.
This sauce suits ketogenic and low-carb diets, with just 2 grams net carbs per tablespoon, making it suitable for marinating or as a finishing sauce. It pairs well with grilled or fried meat, poultry, or fish, and imparts flavor without added sugar.
Store this sauce in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks. Its consistency can be adjusted during cooking to preference, and it works well as a marinade if allowed to soak into meats for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 3 cm ginger peeled and grated (18g, piece
- ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce, 60ml
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoon erythritol granulated
- ¾ cup water 180ml
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- Pinch onion powder optional
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
To serve
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Fry the garlic and ginger in sesame oil for about 30 seconds - 1 minute on a medium/ low heat until fragrant.
- Add the Tamari, coconut aminos, low carb sweetener, water, apple cider vinegar and spices. Bring to the boil, then cook for 2 minutes on a low simmer.
- Whisk in ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum and heat until it thickens and reaches your desired consistency. Mine took about 4 minutes.
Notes
- The sauce contains about 2 grams net carbs per tablespoon and yields approximately half a cup.
- Store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks to maintain freshness.
- Use it as both a sauce and a marinade; marinate meats, fish, or chicken for about 20 minutes before grilling or frying.
