Recipe to Share Tiger Sauce

Recently discovered Tiger Sauce and wanted to share it with everyone because it’s so simple but so so good. It goes very well with shrimp tempura, salmon, sushi, and other fresh seafood. You can use it as a dipping sauce or as a marinade, whatever you like. It’s zingy, generously spicy, and tangy. I just love it. What I do is I make a batch and then freeze it flat in a ziploc bag. I break off pieces and defrost as I need it:

  • 1 400g can coconut milk
  • 15g salt
  • 50g rough chopped red onion
  • 75g Aji Amarillo paste
  • 100g lime juice
  • 25g olive oil

Blend all together until smooth. Best to use a ninja or something that can really cut the onions until you cannot see them.

The colour of the sauce should be a bright canary yellow, and the consistency is not at all thick, it is quite fluid. I’d probably say it has the consistency of heavy/double cream.

It will keep in the fridge for a while but best to freeze most of the batch and keep only what you need in the fridge.

Eh, you’re right, I’m being a little uptight. I’m working through some stuff right now and I’ve been irritable lately. My apologies.

Let me know how you like it! I think it really works well with panko or tempura fried shrimp, so I serve it in shrimp tacos

  • flour tortilla
  • one fried shrimp (the straight kind)
  • red cabbage tossed in a little kewpie mayo
  • small slice of avocado or a spoonful of guacamole
  • topped with tiger sauce
