Storing Bang Bang Shrimp Sauce
Store any leftover Bang Bang Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Always use your best judgment when storing and eating leftovers. If you use an ingredient that is close to its expiration date, that storage time could be shortened. If it smells or looks off, toss it. This sauce is no exception. It is absolutely delicious, and we have a whole section below to help you make to suit your exact tastes. Additionally, we have a list towards the bottom of the post of all the great ways to use it!
Mayonnaise: I used low-fat mayonnaise. You can also use the original, but I would not recommend using fat-free. Thai-style Sweet Red Chili Sauce: This sauce is noticeably sweet. Regular chili sauce, like in my Pork Lo Mein, is not at all sweet and has a kick. You will want the label to say Thai-style Sweet Red Chili Sauce. Rice Wine Vinegar: It balances the sweetness of the chili sauce and has a wonderfully unique taste. You will also love rice vinegar in my delicious Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Sriracha Sauce: This sauce, a type of hot sauce, gives the recipe a little heat. You can also use it in my Fish Taco recipe.
Whisk together ingredients. Make sure everything is mixed in well. Add salt to taste. Start with just a pinch, mix, and taste again. See more on balancing a sauce below.
Whenever you are balancing a recipe at the end to suit your own personal tastes, there are two keys to remember. The first is that sweet is balanced by sour, and vice versa. You can also use salt to balance acidity and vice versa. The second thing to remember is that a little goes a long way. Start by just adding a pinch of whatever you are using to balance and taste again. Keep going with very small additions until you have it just right.
Other Great Sauce Recipes
Use it as a yummy dipping sauce for Easy French Fries and Air Fryer Chicken Tenders. I love eating it drizzled on Blackened Shrimp and Blackened Chicken. The perfect compliment to Air Fryer Green Beans or Baked Zucchini Fries.
