Simple Sauce

[leechlake]

yesterday I made a few snacks for my wife and I and wanted a simple sauce to dip it in.  Mixed about 1/2 honey with 1/2 sriracha sauce, it was amazing and amazingly simple.  I even put it on a tossed salad at dinner.  You can turn up the sriracha to about 2/3 if you like things hotter.   I'm almost embarrassed to post something so simple.

Simple is good a lot of times.  Just like my Butcher sauce if I want something quick and good for ribs or chicken.  Equal amounts of ketchup and Western dressing.  One cup ketchup and one cup Western dressing.  Bring to a simmer and add some apple juice to it if you want it thinner for a mop sauce.  good luck.

Western dressing was a staple in our fridge as a kid.  I'm going to have to pick some up, seems my wife buys a lot of high brow dressings (all Lite...yuck).

I have tried this with Dorthy Lynch which is similar to western dressing, but have not added the apple juice. It sounds like it would go good with pork. Might have to give this a try, as well as sriracha and honey mixture!

Have also made a similar "simple sauce" .....but with the garlic chili sauce made/sold by the same company as sriracha and western dressing.....lol.  A big key to a lot of sauces is the blend blend of sweet, salt, and acid......which all the above have.

We always had Western dressing on our house as I grew up too.  I haven't had it in years.  I bought some recently and really like it.  Good to put on lot of things where ketchup just isn't enough.  I will try the rib combo.  Might have to get some sriracha sauce too.  It sounds hot so I will go light the first time.

Some of the asian chili concoctions will take your head off.  I had some stuff called sambal oelek as I recall.  It was sort of oily and I could only eat like three drops on a helping of rice.  Took it to work for the pot luck at Cristmas, and a couple of south indian guys ate most of the jar as a dip with crackers. 

I don't find Siracha too bad, spice wise.

Mixed about 1/2 honey with 1/2 sriracha sauce, it was amazing and amazingly simple. 

I like Sriracha Sauce but 1 to 1 burnt the heck out of me.  Had to go to 3 honey - 1 sauce.
