1 teaspoon sesame oil (preferably cold-pressed)

2 tablespoons veggie or chicken broth (or water), plus additional 1-2 tablespoons if needed (if the sauce is too thick).

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons maple syrup

  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat sauté the onions in the butter or oil until they are soft, golden and fragrant.
  3. Turn the temperature down to medium-low and add the remaining ingredients- water, almond butter, coconut amino/soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and Sriracha and mix for about 2 minutes.
