How to make honey sriracha sauce?
This is an easy recipe where you don't need to do much planning and preparation other than having the basic ingredients.
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir once to mix. Simmer the sauce and remove once done. It turns thicker when it comes back to room temperature. So avoid simmering too long.
For a dipping sauce, you may need a little thicker sauce than a sauce for marinade or brushing. So decide how long you need to simmer and how you are going to use it.
For a thin sauce, I normally simmer for 2 - 5 minutes max after it comes to a boil. For a dipping sauce, you may simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. Or as per the consistency you need.
Serving Ideas -
This is a versatile hot and sweet sauce and you can use it in various ways. A few of the ideas are like this -
- If you are non-vegetarian, brush your chicken legs or wings with it.
- If vegetarian or vegan, brush veggies like Brussels sprouts, and carrots for a blast of flavors.
- Add the sauce to stir-fry veggies as a stir-fry sauce or just coat them with the sauce.
- Serve as a dipping sauce with appetizers
How to store?
If you use them often, make them in large batches and store them in air-tight glass jars sealed properly. They stay good for 7 - 10 in the refrigerator. These are also Freezer friendly and can be stored for good 2 months in the freeze.
To store in the freezer, make sure the sauce is cooled down to room temperature. Then transfer to an airtight container and seal properly. Thaw the container in the refrigerator for 5 - 6 hrs before using.
