Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Start by prepping your almonds: Toast them in a dry skillet for 3–5 minutes or in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes if using them raw. To achieve extra creaminess, consider soaking them. This step is optional, but it could enhance the texture
  • Place prepared almonds in your food processor and pulse until they are finely ground – expect this to take a minute or two
  • Include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, your choice of sweetener, plus sesame oil if you're incorporating it. Blend everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes until you have a smooth consistency
  • Add water or coconut milk little by little to reach the thickness you prefer
  • Take a taste and modify as needed: add more soy sauce for saltiness or more sweetener if a bit of sweetness is desired. Blend again for a smooth finish
  • Ideal for noodles, salads, or grain bowls. Also makes a fantastic dip for spring rolls, veggie sticks, or dumplings. Try drizzling over stir-fry or roasted tofu for a zing
