Yield

2 Cups

Prepare Ingredients

Mix together the allulose and xanthan gum and reserve. This will help prevent the xanthan gum from clumping.

Heat the oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Mix Ingredients

Add lime juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, sriracha,sambal, and tamari to the pan. Stir and bring to a simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Sriracha can be substituted for the sambal and apple cider vinegar can be substituted for the unsweetened rice wine vinegar.

Add allulose/xanthan mixture to the pan and continue simmering while whisking until the allulose is fully dissolved.

Stir in water, adding more or less to achieve desired consistency. Remove from heat.

Stir in the water, remove from heat and let it come to room temperature before transferring to a container for refrigeration.
