Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the cashews and hemp hearts. Pour hot water to cover and soak for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, combine the following ingredients in a blender: yeast, vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper. Add 2 Tablespoons of lukewarm water.
Drain the cashews and hemp hearts in a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the soaking liquid. Add them to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. You will need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times.
With the blender running on low, drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will thicken slightly. This is your dragon sauce!
Scrape the sauce into a pint jar. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before using.
