Cashew Chicken Wraps
To make this delicious peanut sauce, you’ll need:
- 1/3 c. tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or coconut aminos
- 2 T. sugar-free crunchy peanut butter, room temperature (I love this keto one with MCT added)
- 3 T. honey alternative or keto syrup
- 2 T. rice vinegar
- 1-2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 T. sesame oil
- ½ t. crushed red pepper flakes*
I use this sauce on everything. Try it in your shrimp stir fry or over your Cauliflower Fried Rice. It’s just amazing.
