Spicy Lee’s BBQ sauce
Like mentioned in the introduction to this post you can expect a BBQ sauce with a complex flavor pattern. However the Spicy Lee’s BBQ sauce has been made with a classic American style BBQ sauce base (think of the coke and ketchup) it’s flavored with some of the best Asian ingrediënts. Think about the soy sauce for the a punch of salt, Mirin seasoning for some extra sweetness, Sriracha for a subtle touch of garlic. But there’s more. The Kaffir lime leaves bring a nice refreshing touch while the cinnamon and star anise create a warming flavor profile that brings balance. Moreover the star anise goes perfect with pork meat, but we’ve tasted it on lamb too and in my opinion it was a match made in heaven. So you might want to try more than these options. I’m not sure but I guess chicken might work well too. That might be an option for a next project.
So tell me, what do you think about this sauce? What do you think you could make with it? If you did so please come back and tell! I’d be happy to read about it! Make sure you try it on your next batch of pulled pork! You don’t even need to add a lot of spices to your Butt to make it tastefull.
