There was a time that I had a particular honey garlic non-vegan dish almost everyday after school/work. Looking back at some of my dietary decisions, I wonder how I'm alive ;-)

Jokes aside, this cruelty-free version of honey garlic sesame sauce is indistinguishable from the original and ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO MAKE. First you need your vegan apple honey though, recipe here: [ Ссылка ]

VEGAN HONEY GARLIC SESAME SAUCE RECIPE
Printable recipe and full story here: [ Ссылка ]

INGREDIENTS (US)
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegan apple honey (or see notes for substitutions)
1/4 cup sugar (see notes for alternatives)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (use Tamari if gluten-free)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, raw or toasted, optional
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For cornstarch slurry:
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or tapioca flour)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

INGREDIENTS (Metric)
237 ml water
118 ml vegan apple honey (or see notes for substitutions)
50 g sugar (see notes for alternatives)
30ml soy sauce (use Tamari if gluten-free)
30ml ketchup
15cc sesame seeds, raw or toasted, optional
3 cloves garlic, minced, about 30cc
5cc ginger, minced
1.25cc teaspoon white pepper
1.25cc teaspoon sea salt

For cornstarch slurry:
30cc cornstarch (or tapioca flour)
30ml lemon juice

DIRECTIONS
In a pot over high heat, combine all the ingredients except for the cornstarch and lemon juice.

Separately, mix the cornstarch into the lemon juice until completely dissolved.

When the sauce starts bubbling, stir in the cornstarch mixture. The sauce should start to thicken.

Allow the sauce to come to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat.

The sauce is now ready to use! Enjoy!

NOTES
Instead of apple honey, you can use other syrups like golden syrup and agave. However, the flavour will not be exactly the same. The apple honey really does make a difference. Consider making your own apple honey with apple juice, sugar and lemon juice. It can take only 15 minutes with this recipe ([ Ссылка ]).

Instead of adding regular granulated sugar, you can use other sweeteners such as date sugar, coconut palm sugar, or stevia. However, keep in mind that these sweeteners have different sweetness concentrations and you will need to adjust. Add alternative sweeteners at the end of the cooking process in order to adjust the taste.

You can also simple replace the sugar with more apple honey. Add one third more apple honey and reduce the amount of water by the same amount.

To make Orange Sesame sauce, reduce the water by 2 tablespoons and swap out the lemon juice for 4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also add a quarter teaspoon of orange zest.
