Basic Tamari Maple Sauce

Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

The basic sauce is something you can whip up cold. No heating. It’s not as good as if it were cooked, but it’s quick so you are more likely to make it. It starts with powdered ginger and black pepper in a glass jar (add at least one tiny fragment of dried ginger if you have it). You add 2 tbsp tamari sauce and 2 tbsp of maple syrup, plus a splash of ginger ale. From there, you can improvise, adding any green that you like (basil, a mint relative, is my preference).

Black pepper
Ginger powder
Tamari soy sauce 2 tbsp
Maple syrup 2 tbsp
Ginger ale
1 tsp of gluten-free flour
Optional ingredients: herbs such as basil


In summary:

1) Place black pepper and ginger powder in a mason jar or other glass jar.
2) Add the maple syrup and tamari. Close and seal the jar and shake to mix.
3) Add ginger ale and basil (if desired). Close and seal the jar and shake to mix.
4) Add the flour and shake to mix
5) Taste. You may wish to add: Sugar, pepper, hot pepper, or even just water

And that’s it! Should take a minimal amount of time. Make it beforehand and let it sit in the fridge to get a better mix.
