Ingredient Notes
Soy Sauce: I like to use low-sodium soy sauce to make this recipe healthier. If you’re looking for a gluten-free soy sauce alternative, try Tamari (you seriously can’t tell the difference!). If you’re soy-free, use coconut aminos.
Chicken Stock (or Chicken Broth): I use Kettle + Fire organic chicken bone broth (my favorite! Use code TASTESLOVELY for 20% off!) for this recipe, but if you’re vegan, use vegetable broth. It’s a totally easy substitution that still tastes just as good!
Thickener: You can use corn starch, but Tapioca Flour or Arrowroot powder is a healthier swap. These have fewer carbs and are excellent thickeners!
Honey: Instead of brown sugar, I use honey. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar if you want a vegan alternative. You can also use brown sugar if you prefer, but I like using natural sweeteners. It’s really up to you!
Sesame Oil: This adds richness and depth that is so delicious.
Rice Vinegar: This is where the sweet, tangy flavor comes from, and I personally love it. It’s a very mild vinegar, so it won’t overwhelm the sauce.
Fresh Ginger & Garlic: I like to use fresh ginger and mince fresh garlic cloves for this recipe. It adds such a strong, delicious flavor. In a pinch, you can also use powdered ginger and garlic powder or a jar of minced garlic.
