Gingery Cashew Sauce

About 8 servings · 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. Cover the cashews with boiling water and soak for 30 minutes, or soak overnight in the fridge.
  2. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid if desired.
  3. Blend the cashews, ¾ cup soaking liquid or fresh water, soy sauce, sesame seeds, maple syrup, and ginger in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  4. Add water in ⅛ cup increments to reach your preferred 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.
