Description

This Tram Sauce blends creamy, spicy, tangy, and sweet notes into a bold, addictive condiment. Made in minutes with tamarind paste, chili garlic sauce, and lime juice, it’s perfect for fries, grilled wraps, proteins, or roasted veggies. With just seven pantry ingredients, it adds restaurant-style flavor to any dish no cooking required.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 12 tablespoons water (optional, to thin)

Instructions

  1. Combine tamarind paste and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  2. Stir in the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, and soy sauce until fully combined.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  4. Stir in brown sugar and mix until fully dissolved.
  5. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust for sweetness, heat, or acidity.
  7. Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Spice level: Add extra chili garlic sauce for more heat.
  • Tanginess: Boost lime or tamarind to sharpen acidity.
  • Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
  • Substitute: Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.
  • Serve with: Fries, burgers, wraps, grilled chicken, roasted veggies, or loaded jacket potatoes.
