How to Make It
Alright, fam, grab those random condiments lurking in your fridge. We’re all about the mix-and-match here. Start by finding soy sauce because that stuff is sauce gold. Break out the honey, mustard, or whatever you’ve got hidden behind the pickles. In the spirit of winging it and discovering masterpieces, stir it all together like you’re a mad scientist. Taste as you go — there’s no rulebook here, just your taste buds guiding the way. And if you spill a little? Just call it “flavor going freestyle.” It’s all part of the process.
Ingredient Notes
– Soy Sauce: Think of it as the salty sibling to bring all your sauces together in harmony. Don’t skip it unless you like bland.
– Honey: The sticky soul of the sauce – brings it all together sweetly. Got sugar? That works too – I’m not the judge!
– Mustard: A zesty punch in the kisser. Skip it if you hate zing; otherwise, embrace it!
Recipe Steps:
1. Gather every condiment taking up space in your fridge.
2. Pour soy sauce into a bowl, then add other contenders like honey or mustard — your choice!
3. Stir passionately like a boss-chef until smooth or as close as it’s gonna get.
4. Taste and adjust until you hit personal sauce heaven.
What to Serve It With
Tips & Mistakes
Remember, friends, this isn’t rocket science. Screw-ups are steps on the road to saucy success. Some combos will accidentally explode into brilliance. Somehow ended up way too spicy? No shame in balancing with a dollop of yogurt or mayo; it happens.
Storage Tips
If there’s any left (unlikely!), just throw these saucy beauties in a mason jar and stash them in the fridge. They can hang out there for a week or so, but honestly, I can’t vouch for that ‘cause they never last that long around here. Plus, cold nuggets and sauce for breakfast is a surprisingly decent plan. No judgment.
Variations and Substitutions
You wanna play sauce swap? Sweet. Use maple syrup if the honey’s missing in action. Tamari instead of soy sauce if gluten’s a no-go — we love being inclusive! No mustard? Try BBQ sauce or sriracha if you’re feeling wild. Sometimes, I just toss in whatever’s about to expire and hope for the best. Nine times out of ten, it’s amazing.
