Enjoy your “Sauce of Despair”—it’s a reminder that even in the kitchen, you can stir up a little chaos and create something delicious. Who knew your worst moments could taste this good?
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (for that creamy texture you can’t resist)
- 3 tablespoons Korean Red Rub spice (because life’s too short for bland sauces)
-
2 tablespoons peanut butter
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Combine the Chaos: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, Korean Red Rub, peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. It should look like something you’d want to dive into—just like your feelings.
- Heat Things Up: Pour that beautiful mess into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it like you’re trying to erase your past mistakes—smooth and steady.
- Simmer and Savor: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch it thicken and bubble, much like your anxiety on a Sunday night.
- Taste Test: Give it a try. Need more spice? Add a bit more Korean Red Rub. Too spicy? Add more coconut milk. Life is all about balance, right?
- Serve with a Side of Sarcasm: Drizzle this sauce over your favorite roasted veggies, grain bowls, or even that sad piece of tofu you’ve been neglecting in the fridge. It’s versatile—like your excuses for not going to the gym.
- Store for Later: If there’s any left (let’s be real, there probably won’t be), store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You might need it when you inevitably regret your dinner choices
Recipe Note
Storage: This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken in the fridge.
Versatility: Feel free to experiment! This sauce works wonders as a dip, drizzle, or marinade. Try it with grilled veggies, in stir-fries, or even as a dressing for salads.
Adjust to Taste: If you like it spicier, add more Korean Red Rub. For a creamier texture, increase the coconut milk or peanut butter. This sauce is all about balancing your flavor preferences!
Nut-Free Option: For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
