Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mumbo Sauce: D.C.'s Sweet & Sour Delight.
Step 1
To create a deliciously tangy sauce, start by grabbing a saucepan and mixing together the tomato paste, ketchup, and a touch of white sugar.
Step 2
Next, pour in the pineapple juice, distilled white vinegar, lemon juice, and a drizzle of honey to add a hint of sweetness.
Step 3
For an extra kick, stir in some soy sauce, freshly grated ginger, and a dash of cayenne pepper, whisking everything together until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 4
Now, place your saucepan over medium-high heat and watch as the mixture begins to bubble with excitement.
Step 5
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently.
Step 6
Give it a whisk every now and then, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
When the time is up, take the saucepan off the heat and let the sauce cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Finally, to achieve that silky smooth texture, pour the sauce through a fine strainer, leaving any solids behind.
