How to Make the Sauce
This sauce is quick and easy, and the process is simple, yet it delivers big flavor.
Step 1: Prepare the Base
In a bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients and set aside.
Chop the garlic and onion in a blender or food processor for 20-30 seconds. Set aside along with the seasoning mix.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion to the skillet, lower the heat to medium, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Step 2: Finish the Sauce
Add Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chicken broth, ginger, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and any extra spice (like red pepper flakes or Tabasco sauce). Stir until combined.
Then, add the seasoning mix and bring everything to a boil. Stir occasionally until fully mixed.
Once done, remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool before serving. Enjoy!
Storage Recommendations
One of the best parts about this sauce is that it makes around 20 servings, so you can keep enjoying it for a while. After it cools completely, store it in a sealed glass jar or container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
For longer storage, freeze it in a freezer-safe container, and it will last up to three months.
Final Thoughts
That’s how you make this fantastic sauce from scratch! The flavor is truly unique, and while the ingredient list may seem long, it’s worth gathering everything because it works so well with a variety of dishes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
