I adore sauces of all consistencies and types-it is such a great way to flavor my food just enough where I can satisfy any kind of craving. I am huge on different hot sauces and Korean sauces and just about everything in between. What are some of your favorites or staples you just have to have in the house? Low calorie and/or healthy is awesome but not necessary if you want to share!
I’ll start: I always have to have sriracha, kewpie (Japanese mayo), ketchup, low fat hidden valley ranch, Korean bbq sauces usually in 2-3 different flavors, Korean hot pepper paste (gochuchang), salsa verde (sauce??? Haha sure why not), red salsa, peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, and SO much more omg I couldn’t name them all... let’s just say my pantry and fridge are stockpiled 😂😍
Let me know what sauces you love and if there is anything in particular you love to eat with said sauces.
One of my favorite easy meals to make at home features peanut sauce and a little sriracha. It consists of:
-zucchini noodles aka zoodles
-organic medium firm tofu
-egg whites
-minced garlic
-green onions
-shredded chicken or turkey or shrimp
-peanut sauce
-sriracha
-cherry tomatoes on top ❤️
Super simple to throw everything into a pan and then throw in the zoodles second to last before the sauce... you don’t need much to get that wonderful peanut sauce taste and then drizzle a little sriracha on top and add some fresh cherry tomatoes-SO GOOD!!

Thank you!!! I’m going to be tasting all of these and I have tried a lot of these but forgot about them and need to add them to my current collection-I’m actually going to an aioli tasting soon at a local boutique haha!! Going to grab some of that and try out new brands of sauces as well and try making some homemade. I just ordered a new hot sauce yesterday called “Truff” it is a black truffle infused hot sauce and only 10 calories per teaspoon so I am pumped to see what it’s like.1

Vidalia Onion steak sauce, and an "Apple cinnamon bbq sauce" we found at a roadside store. One of those places you see signs for miles before the store "Tomatoes this way" "Peaches this way", etc.1

balsamic glaze, various mustards (dijon, spicy brown, honey dijon,...), Worcester (stew), wine (burgundy & sauvignon blanc), squeeze bottle of minced garlic, bottle of garlic paste, BBQ sauce, Frank's, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce1

Pickapeppa sauce (Jamaican), Peri Peri sauce (Portuguese/African) are two spicy hot sauces that are among my favorites. Chimichurri sauce (Argentina) is mild, and great with grilled foods. Aji sauce (Peru) ranges from mild to hot, comes in various colors, and is great with chicken and on sandwiches.1

Oh YUMMM!!! Thank you-going to try all of this!!0 -
Blend 1 red bell pepper, 1/4 cup each white vinegar and sugar, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper (to taste) until smooth. Cook in small saucepan, stirring frequently until the sauce cooks down slightly and bubbles are gone (maybe 5 minutes).
It's sweet, sour, and as spicy as you want it. I found the recipe in some Reader's Digest cookbook my parents had. I call it ruby sauce after the recipe that contained it, Ruby Lamb, but it's good on everything. Best dip ever for chicken or chicken-like nuggets.2 -

Omg I am so excited to try this!!! Thank you for the recipe, I just ordered some vegan “chicken” nuggets that are supposed to be delicious (I’m not vegan but I like to try all kinds of new foods-plus they are lower calorie) so I’ll make this sauce to dip them into-can’t wait!1 -
I made toum tonight for the first time. Previously only ate it in Middle Eastern restaurants. It's wonderful but unfortunately if you want to do it in a food processor instead of with a mortar and pestle you need to make a huge batch. Maybe in the future I will just try to buy it from the Lebanese restaurant across the street. I didn't bother with removing the germ of the garlic. Peeling 130g of garlic cloves (about 4 heads) was work enough.

Yummmm-thank you!! I just had a new sauce delivered today that I plan to try this weekend or Monday and now I have a few I want to make-I’ll let you know how I like it once I’ve made it!0 -
Here is a sweet/savoury sauce recipe I love. Vietnamese caramel/fish sauce. Use it to coat roasted chicken wings, or add some to the braising liquid for pork or chicken, or brush onto BBQ or grilled meat. Keeps indefinitely in a glass jar in the fridge.

zero calories, zero carb, zero fat, huge variety, taste much better than no sauce at all1 -
Tried Walden Farms products - absolutely terrible.1

I just bought about 7 jars of different mustards (horseradish, tarragon, peppercorn, etc), I also like reduced sodium soy sauce, walnut oil, sesame oil. But more than sauces, I am really into herbs and seasonings. When I use a sauce, I use it very sparingly and have found that a teaspoon full is usually enough. Stonewall Kitchen makes a lot of really good sauces.1

Thanks so much everyone!! I have so much to try!! Been buying up spices and sauces left and right-yummmmm!!0

This is super basic but so good. I use it on chicken and pork tenderloin but can be used on many things. It’s only brown sugar, ketchup and mustard. I’ve added garlic to it and salt and pepper. And also honey.
It’s a sweet style bbq sauce. Simple but delicious!1
