Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp chicken broth
1 tbsp tomato paste
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit tomato skins and seeds. Tomato paste is smooth, with the skins and seeds already removed, and the recipe uses only about 3/4 teaspoon per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid tomato paste, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit fibrous roots and whole spices. Only about 1/4 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger is used per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp avocado oil

For the slurry

1 ½ tsp arrowroot starch
1 tbsp cold water

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot starch and cold water until fully dissolved with no lumps. Set aside.
2
Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Watch closely, as minced garlic can scorch quickly.
