Everyone has a different tolerance for sweetness and some brands of Tamari Sauce are saltier than others. If you find that the sauce isn’t sweet enough, add a few drops of Stevia.

Originally we made this recipe using erythritol, but after making it again with xylitol we’ve found the sauce to be much closer to the high carb version. It is thick and sticky and doesn’t harden when cooled.

If you choose to use erythritol, be aware it causes the sauce to become hard when cooled, even at room temperature. It can be set in ice cube trays to make using it easier or warmed in the microwave or on the stove to make it pourable each time you need it.

There are no “perishable” ingredients in the sauce and it could potentially last indefinitely, however, we recommend using it within 3 weeks to be on the safe side. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

This recipe makes approximately 1 cup of Sugar-Free Sweet Soy Sauce, which is 16 serves of 1 tablespoon.
