Ingredients for Buddha Bowl Sauce
- ¼ cup tahini paste
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp water, plus up to â…“ cup extra to adjust consistency
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, pure maple syrup, sesame oil, salt, and 1 tablespoon of water until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, gradually add more water in small increments, up to â…“ cup, whisking continuously until it reaches a pourable consistency ideal for drizzling over your Buddha bowl.
- Season to Taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt, lemon juice for brightness, or maple syrup for sweetness, ensuring a perfectly balanced flavor.
- Store or Serve: Use the sauce immediately to dress your bowls or transfer it into a jar and refrigerate for later use. Shake or stir before each use as the ingredients may separate.
Notes
- This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Adjust the water slowly to avoid thinning the sauce too much.
- If you prefer a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the sesame oil before mixing.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes.
- Use gluten-free tamari instead of salt for a soy-infused variation.
