This glossy, savory-sweet sauce comes together fast, whisking tamari, rice vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup with fresh ginger and minced garlic for a bold, aromatic base. Toasted sesame oil adds depth, while a cornstarch slurry brings everything to a silky, spoon-coating finish right on the stovetop. A pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough heat to wake up whatever vegetables or noodles it's tossed with. Every ingredient here is plant-based, making it a natural fit for a vegetarian kitchen without any special adjustments needed. Keep a jar of this in the fridge and you've got a fast flavor boost ready whenever a stir fry craving hits.
