Bang Bang Sauce
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Place a pan on the stove over low heat.
- 2Add 2 tablespoons of water.
- 3Add 1 tablespoon of chili powder and mix very well until it forms a paste.
- 4After about 30-40 seconds, you'll smell it as it forms.
- 5Add 1.5 tablespoons of sugar or honey (sugar is recommended as honey burns too fast).
- 6Mix for about one minute; the sugar/honey will liquefy and then come back together as it cooks.
- 7Add 0.5 teaspoon of granulated garlic, mixing in for 40 seconds to bloom the flavors.
- 8Shut off the heat and let the chili base cool for a minute or two.
- 9While the chili base is cooling, add 0.5 cup of mayonnaise to a bowl.
- 10Add 2 tablespoons of hot sauce to the mayonnaise and stir it up.
- 11Spoon the sweet chili base into the mayonnaise mixture a spoonful at a time and stir it in until fully incorporated.
- 12Add a very small pinch of salt, mix, taste, and adjust.
- 13Add a very small splash of lemon juice, mix, taste, and adjust.
