5 Ingredients To Make this Sauce

• Butter: Used oil and butter in equal portion to avoid burning and let it pop for few seconds that makes a great taste of butter and it creates the best taste of the sauce. Simple hacks can make a big difference in recipes.
• Grated Garlic: The garlicky and little pungent flavor comes with the addition of garlic. You can use grated, paste, or simply garlic powder to make this sauce. Garlic chunks look good in the sauce also give a perfect flavor while eating so best to use grated ones.
• Honey: The addition of honey not only makes it sweet in flavor but also adds up a specific aroma and taste that compels to eat this sauce again and again.
• Tomato Ketchup: Here in this recipe used chili garlic ketchup but you can use the regular tomato ketchup. It makes it tangy, sweet, and sour in taste.
• Dark Soya Sauce: it's your choice to add dark or simple soya sauce in this sauce. You can increase and decrease the quantity as per your taste but use a little and it will make a big difference in taste.
• Salt and Pepper (Optional): I don't need it as used salty butter and soya sauce is also salty so I don't need to add it in this sauce. You can check the taste and if it requires in your way then add a little as per your choice.

The most amazing part is you can do all this simply in one pan only need a stovetop to make it ready. Blender is not required to make this sauce.

How to Make?

First, heat up butter/oil in a pan and whisk well to make it bubbly. Now add freshly greated garlic and saute for few seconds until garlic become aromatic and starts to change color. Now add honey and whisk well to form a thick sticky sauce. Add tomato ketchup and soya sauce and give it a good mix. Season with salt and peppers. Mix well and serve as it get cold.

How to Store?

After making it, cool it down! And now it's ready to eat and store. Just pour in an airtight container and refrigerate for 15 days. When you need it you can simply put it in the microwave for few seconds and give it a good whisk so it will be ready like fresh again.

Overall the flavor of the sauce is sweet and sour in taste and makes a perfect choice to add to your food.
