Mae Ploy Chili Sauce: Flavor That Sparks a Party
Calories: 80kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Mae Ploy chili sauce (the star, obviously)
- 2 tbsp Honey or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Fresh lime juice
- 2-3 tbsp Water
- optional sesame seeds, chopped scallions
- Dipping fresh veggies, spring rolls, fried chips, or nuggets that owe you nothing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk Mae Ploy sauce, honey (if using), vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth. Yes, it’s that easy.
- Stir in garlic powder and lime juice. Taste. If it screams for more brightness, add a pinch more lime. If it’s too sharp, mellow it with a drizzle of water.
- Adjust consistency with 2–3 tablespoons of water. You want a pourable glaze, not a soup. Pro tip: runny glaze = fun for dipping, thick glaze = clingy for coating.
- Heat it gently in a small saucepan for 1–2 minutes if you want a warm glaze. Don’t boil it; we’re not simmering a science experiment here.
- Transfer to a serving dish or brush onto whatever you’re glazing. Sprinkle sesame seeds or scallions if you’re feeling fancy.
