Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a small saucepan, add the water, white vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, hot sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix everything together to prepare for cooking.
  2. Simmer the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as you bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sugar has fully dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly to develop its flavor.
  3. Blend the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the hot sauce to a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Cool and Store: Allow the sauce to cool completely at room temperature before transferring it into a clean storage container. Refrigerate the sauce for up to 2 weeks, ready to use whenever you want a spicy, tangy kick in your dishes.

Notes

  • Adjust hot sauce quantity to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Make sure to stir constantly during simmering to prevent burning or sticking to the pan.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with fried foods, grilled meats, or as a sandwich spread.
