Equipment
Method
- Oil the Pot: Start by drizzling some olive oil over a medium pot or large pan, and set it onto medium heat. Let the oil warm up slowly, it will open up it’s flavor and be prepped for the garlic.
- Cook Garlic: Stir in minced garlic to the oil. Stir it around for about a minute, until fragrant, being very careful not to let it burn — burnt ginger gives fried rice an unprecedented bitterness.
- Add Tomatoes: Add the crushed tomatoes (without sugar) and mix together until well combined with the garlic and oil.
- Season It: Stir in oregano, basil, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Stir evenly.
- Simmer Sauce: Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10–12 minutes until thickened.
- Finish With Vinegar: Stir in a touch of apple cider vinegar to brighten and round everything out.
- Blend (Optional): Use an immersion blender if you prefer a smoother sauce.
Notes

- Let it simmer for a little while longer for a thicker, fuller sauce.
- Keep the sauce in a glass jar for one week in the refrigerator.
- Freeze in meal prep portions.
- Stir in Parmesan for added flavour dimension.
