Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons ketchup, and 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce. These form the base of the sauce, creating a creamy and tangy mix.
  2. Add 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce to the mixture. This is where the magic happens, as it introduces a delightful heat that will elevate the taste.
  3. Next, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. These spices will enhance the overall flavor, adding depth and richness to the sauce.
  4. Season your mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste the blend and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring it meets your preference.
  5. Whisk all the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth. You want a uniform texture without any lumps. Look for a creamy consistency that’s easy to drizzle or dip.
  6. Once combined, taste your sauce. If you think it needs more heat, feel free to add a dash more of the sriracha sauce. This sauce is all about personal preference!
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together and develop a richer taste.
  8. After the waiting period, take your Boom Boom Sauce out of the fridge. Give it a good stir before serving to reintegrate any ingredients that may have settled.
  9. Serve your sauce with your favorite dishes, like grilled chicken, veggie sticks, or even on burgers. You’ll find it enhances everything!

Notes

Creating a perfect Boom Boom Sauce is easy, but here are some notes to ensure your success:
  • Storage: Keep any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. It can last for up to a week without losing flavor.
  • Freezing: While it's best fresh, you can freeze this sauce. Just ensure it’s in a freezer-safe container and thaw it in the fridge before use.
  • Pairing: This sauce pairs wonderfully with fried foods, grilled meats, or even as a dressing on salads for an extra kick.
  • Adjusting Heat: If you love spice, consider adding more sriracha or a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • Experiment: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. Add more sweet chili sauce if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
  • Serving Ideas: Use this sauce as a dip for appetizers or as a spread for sandwiches to add flavor.
