Gluten Free Honey Sesame Stir-Fry Sauce
Sweet, savory, and just a little sticky, this honey sesame sauce is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle on everything. Tamari stands in for conventional soy sauce here, which is the key move that keeps this completely wheat-free without sacrificing any of that deep, umami-rich flavor. Toasted sesame oil and freshly grated ginger give it a warmth and complexity that bottled sauces rarely match, and a cornstarch slurry whisked in at the end brings it to that perfect glossy, coat-the-back-of-a-spoon consistency. A splash of rice vinegar balances the honey's sweetness, and a pinch of red pepper flakes can dial up the heat if you're into it. The whole thing comes together in under ten minutes and makes enough for four servings, whether you're tossing it with vegetables, noodles, or a quick protein. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have a seriously good sauce ready to go all week long.
