A slightly thicker caramel and the addition of whole roasted almonds turn traditional caramel popcorn into gift-worthy popcorn mix. We use less sugar in the glaze and cut the sweetness with mild white miso (fermented soybean paste) and tamari (a richer, wheat-free soy sauce) for a salty-savory note that makes the snack incredibly addictive.
Tamari is similar to soy sauce but richer and darker; look for reduced-sodium tamari in the ethnic foods section of most grocery stores and in health-food stores. You can substitute low-sodium soy sauce. Along with the tamari, sake deepens the stew's taste and aroma without overpowering the dish's other flavors.
Tamari, a darker, richer soy sauce, is optional in this recipe, but its savory flavor makes the dish more interesting.
Loaded with the flavors you crave, but packed with enough broccoli and lean flank steak to make it nutritious, this is a great meal for any night of the week. Gluten-free tamari is a delicious stand-in for the soy sauce.
This classic Chinese glaze and dipping sauce is easy to make at home, and lower in sodium and sugar, as well as free of food coloring or artificial ingredients. Serve it with roasted salmon, riced cauliflower, or in a veggie stir-fry. Keep the tamari to make it completely gluten-free, or substitute low-sodium soy sauce for even more health savings.
