Fusion Sauces For The BBQ
When anyone mentions fusion sauces or cuisine I always think of Ken Hom and his hot wok giving us that that fantastic East meets West blend. Well I guess you could say that my fusion influenced homemade BBQ sauce is paying “homage” to the great man.
I’ve got all the traditional barbecue ingredients like tomatoes, Worcestershire and some sweetness too but mixing it with some typical Chinese ingredients? ..Surely not?
I couldn’t believe how good it is but don’t take my word for it. The ingredients are below and you can have it knocked up within the hour but please note that because of the long list of ingredients it does make rather a lot of sauce so be prepared to pot some up and preserve for a later date.
Ingredients:-
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 lg. onion)
3 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
120ml or ˝ cup vegetable oil
240ml or 1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces)
240ml or 1 cup cider vinegar
240ml or 1 cup honey
120ml or ˝ cup Worcestershire sauce
240ml or 1 cup Dijon mustard
120ml or ˝ cup soy sauce
240ml or 1 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
˝ tablespoon ground cumin
˝ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Place a large saucepan on a low heat and gently fry the onions and garlic in the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes. The onions should be translucent but not browned. Throw in the remainder of the ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer uncovered on a low heat for 30 minutes. You can use the sauce immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
