Sweet. Spicy. Unstoppable.
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1/4 Sriracha Sauce (70g)
1/8 cup Unsalted Clarified Butter or Ghee
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes (1.5g)
1/4 teaspoon Ghost Pepper Sauce or Powder
1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Prepare the Sauce Base:
In a medium saucepan, combine the Sriracha Sauce, clarified butter or gee, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili flakes, and ghost pepper sauce.
Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Blend the Sauce:
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth.
If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency.
Adjust Sweetness and Acidity:
Taste the sauce. Add honey if needed for balance or more lime juice/vinegar if the pH is too high (above 4.0), or ghost pepper sauce to raise the heat. Blend again to incorporate.
Test pH and Bottle:
Use a pH meter or test strips to ensure the sauce is between 3.4 and 4.0. Adjust with additional lime juice or vinegar as needed.
Pour while still hot (greater than 180 180°F) into a hot sterilized jar. Seal and allow to cool.
> You can skip the pH and bottling step if you're going to use the sauce right away. It'll stay good in the refrigerator for a week. > NeonPerfect as a glaze, drizzle, or dip, this sauce brings bold, irresistible flavor to wings, seafood, or anything you dare to elevate.
