Try our easy-to-make firecracker meatballs with a creamy firecracker sauce dip! If you’re familiar with sweet chili sauce, this firecracker sauce is similar but with a richer, more robust flavor. If you like Johnny’s firecracker sauce, it’s basically a homemade version of that. We’re big fans of making our own sauces because we know exactly what goes into them, which means they’re cleaner and healthier than most store-bought options. It’s so easy to make that we bet you could do it with your eyes closed. Just add all the ingredients to a bowl, stir, and store it in a jar until you’re ready to use it. It will keep for up to three weeks in your fridge. This bold sauce is what we use on our firecracker salmon, but we love it on everything from chicken wings to shrimp, steak, and even as a quick sauce for stir-fries. Serve it with rice or noodles to soak up all the extra sauce. We’ve even been known to drizzle it over lettuce wraps and tacos, too!
Buffalo sauce – buffalo sauce and hot sauce are not the same thing. Buffalo sauce is enriched with butter and other ingredients, so it’s richer and and smoother than regular hot sauce. A familiar brand like Frank’s is what we use for this recipe. Honey – for its sweetness. Soy sauce – the rich taste of soy sauce adds the salt element, as well as depth and Asian flavor. Use low-sodium or gluten-free if necessary. Rice vinegar – you can also use apple cider vinegar instead. Seasonings – we use a mix of garlic granules and ground ginger. Feel free to use freshly grated garlic and ginger, if you prefer. Ground garlic also works in a pinch!
