Amai Sauce
Report
You'll love this Wagamama's copycat Amai Sauce recipe! Sweet, sour, and spicy, this rich sauce is great on Katsu Curry or as a dipping sauce.
Share:
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons malt vinegar
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons tamarind paste
- 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
Instructions
- Stir the sugar and both vinegars together in a small pot over a medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add all remaining ingredients and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until it reduces to a sticky thick sauce.
- TIP: if any foam forms, skim it away with a spoon and discard.
Notes
- This recipe makes about ¾ cup of Amai sauce which is the perfect amount to dip 20 gyoza or potstickers. It can also be used as a sauce on Japanese curry or noodle dishes.
- Allow the sauce to cool before storing as hot liquid with sugar can cause serious burns if you're not careful.
- The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you want a thinner consistency, simply add a little water when reheating.
- Serve amai sauce warm or cold.
