Gingery Cashew Sauce
Prep: 30 minutes · Cook: 5 minutes · Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • ¾ cup water, reserved from soaking cashews or fresh
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce, gluten-free if needed
  • 2 tbsp raw sesame seeds
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup, optional
  • 1½ inch knob ginger, peeled and chopped or grated

Directions

  1. Boil enough water to cover the cashews, then soak cashews for 30 minutes. You can also soak them overnight in the fridge.
  2. Drain the cashews, saving the soaking liquid if desired.
  3. Add cashews, ¾ cup reserved soaking liquid or fresh water, soy sauce, sesame seeds, maple syrup, and ginger to a high-speed blender.
  4. Blend until completely smooth. Add water in ⅛ cup increments as needed until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.

Notes

If you have a large high-speed blender such as a Vitamix, you may need to make a larger batch so there is enough volume to blend properly.
