How to Make Soy Sauce Substitute Gluten Free

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup tamari (or coconut aminos), 1/4 cup mirin (or a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia, to taste), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness), and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to about 1/2 cup (approximately 10-15 minutes). The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Shake or stir well before each use to ensure even consistency.
