Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

Dry Ingredients & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, hot sauce, black pepper, and salt. Stir to mix everything evenly before heating.
  2. Simmer the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly, forming a cohesive texture.
  3. Blend the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the hot sauce to a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Cool and Store: Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. Transfer it to a clean storage container and refrigerate. The sauce will keep fresh and flavorful for up to 2 weeks when stored properly.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the heat level of your Tiger Sauce.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer longer to reduce the liquid further before blending.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with fried chicken, burgers, sandwiches, and as a dipping sauce for fries.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and shake well before each use.
