As a low-carber is hard to find good Sauces. Most of them are loaded with high-fructose-GM-poison ahem I'm mean corn-syrup. But thanks to the internet we do not have to live sauce-less any more.
Here are two recipes I found that are easy-peasy and help spice-up meats and fish. You can replace the Palm sugar with your sweetener of choice but remember to taste your sauce so you add enough sweetener without it getting too sweet.
Teriyaki Sauce
5 cloves of Garlic
2 tbsp. Sesame Oil
¼ cup Soya Sauce
¼ cup Vinegar
½ cup Palm Sugar
1 tbsp. Cornstarch (or thickener)
1 tbsp. Water
Grate garlic into a sauce pot, add in Sesame Oil and fry on medium.
Add in Soya Sauce, Vinegar and Sugar. Taste to make sure the sweet and sour is balanced.
Bring to a boil then simmer.
Mix cornstarch and water together, add to the sauce and simmer until thick.
This Sauce is can be used to make stir fry, is great on baked chicken or duck. But my favorite recipe is on Salmon, wrapped in tin foil and baked at 350F for an hour.
Refrigerator Magic BBQ Sauce
1 ½ cup Tomato paste (13 oz)
1/3 cup Vinegar
2 tbsp. Palm Sugar
¾ tbsp. Salt
3 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
¾ tbsp. Hot Sauce
3 tsp. Lemon Juice
1 ½ tsp. of Liquid Smoke
1 Dash of Cayenne Pepper
1 ½ tsp. Mustard
Mix all of the ingredients, except mustard, in a sauce pot. It should taste a little bit sweet and spicy.
Heat on Medium. Mix a spoonful of sauce and the mustard, then add to the sauce.
Bring to a boil and then let it simmer for a minute or two.
Put in a clean container and let it cool down in the fridge, overnight is best but the longer you leave it the better it tastes. This is where the magic happens; it goes from not-bad to I’m-never-eating-store-bought-again.
You can use this sauce on ribs, steak, burgers, for marinating or anything else you can think of. We mix it with ground meat to make our own burgers.
Now you can be a bit more Saucy this summer!
That looks delicious!
