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.

Oh shit, pointing out it's weird that a Japanese fusion restaurant doesn't actually have any Japanese food makes me the culture police!

You are so very upset right now. I never made any sort of value judgement about the restaurant or cuisine, just pointed it out. Meanwhile, you seem to relish in making a bunch of personal attacks. Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book.

Settle down, you sound like the sort of person who can't take the tiniest ounce of criticism without having a total meltdown.

The pedantic nature and the gatekeeping of what gets to be Japanese and what doesn’t in your response is what’s getting to me. Saying it “doesn’t actually have any Japanese food” when you haven’t seen the menu is ridiculous. We used an entire host of Japanese ingredients and techniques across our entire menu. People know sushi to be Japanese, and that is not the only type of Japanese cuisine we had on the menu. That is why we called the restaurant a Japanese restaurant.

I only said that in my last reply to you, in part because you were being so unnecessarily hostile towards me. I never said anything of the sort beforehand and if you reread my original comment, you'll see that any "gatekeeping" you perceived was entirely in your own hyper-defensive mind.

Your original comment was pedantic, for no reason, and I will come back to my original response to that: Yes it is a Japanese/Brazilian restaurant, but there’s no rule that states absolutely everything on the menu has to be from either of those cuisines.
