Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
Description
The sauce starts by combining apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, light brown sugar, and spices such as ground ginger, mustard, onion powder, crushed garlic, cinnamon, and black pepper in a saucepan. The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered for around 20 minutes until reduced by half, concentrating the flavors. It is then strained to remove solids and cooled before use.
This vegan version offers a balance of tangy acidity from the vinegar and soy sauce with sweetness from brown sugar, complemented by warm spice notes. The simmering process melds the flavors and achieves a syrupy consistency.
Vegan Worcestershire Sauce can be used as a marinade, flavor enhancer for sauces, dressings, or seasoning for vegetables and plant-based proteins. It substitutes traditional Worcestershire sauce where dietary preferences exclude anchovies or animal products.
According to the notes, the sauce keeps refrigerated for up to 3 months, allowing for convenient storage and use over time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar or sugar free substitute for low carb followers
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, bring down to a simmer and let the mixture reduce by half, or for about 20 minutes. When reduced, strain the sauce and let cool before using.
Notes
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
- Straining after simmering removes solids for a smooth texture.
- This sauce works well as a vegan substitute for traditional Worcestershire sauce in marinades and dressings.
