When I was working on the pulled pork slider post, my husband suggested adding a barbecue sauce (as I mentioned earlier in that particular post, I sadly don’t know much about barbecue). Upon his recommendation I began thinking of what flavors I wanted in my sauce. Almost immediately I knew I wanted to incorporate sriracha, which lead to additional Asian ingredients and pairings, such as: soy sauce, lime juice, and rice wine vinegar. However, this being a BBQ sauce, I wanted to keep some of the traditional ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and ketchup. Adding a few more ingredients, both traditional and non-traditional, I came up with a BBQ sauce I’m actually quite pleased with; sweet, smokey, and tangy, with a bit of heat. Honestly, this Sriracha BBQ Sauce is a game changer! It truly punches up the other flavors present in the pulled pork sandwich – it’s incredible!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup sriracha
- ⅔ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅔ cup rice vinegar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, heat the oil and sauté the garlic just until fragrant – approximately 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Turn the heat down to low and stir occasionally for 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Do not let the sauce boil.
- Serve with barbecued or grilled meats. BBQ sauce is great on Pulled Pork Sliders or Faux Fried Chicken Tenders.
