This is one of my new “secret weapons.” It’s a nice tasty dip that mixes savory, sour, sweet, salt, and spicy-hot all together, something like those dips you see in various Asian restaurants for spring rolls, etc. However it also works on any vegetables – and that’s where it becomes my “secret weapon” for meals. If I don’t want to get fancy, I just cook/steam a bunch of vegetables, whip this up, and dip away – instant tasty and healthy meal with a kick.
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp red chili flakes.
Mix all of the ingreedients together. It makes enough for about 2 people. Fair warning – the whole mix has about 48% of your daily sodium requirements so don’t overuse it!
