Instructions
Prepare the Mango and Peppers
- Cut mango pieces and remove seeds from habaneros carefully. Wear gloves to avoid burning your hands.
Add Everything to a Blender
- Put mango, habanero, garlic, honey, lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a blender.
Blend Until Smooth and Thick
- Blend the mixture well. Make sure the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and without any fruit chunks.
Pour Sauce into a Saucepan
- Transfer the blended sauce to a small saucepan. Use a spatula to remove all sauce completely.
Add Water to Adjust Thickness
- Pour water into the saucepan. This helps control the sauce thickness while cooking.
Heat the Sauce on Medium Flame
- Cook the sauce on medium heat. Let it warm slowly for the best flavor release.
Stir the Sauce While Cooking
- Stir the sauce continuously to avoid burning. Make sure it heats evenly in the pan.
Simmer Until Slightly Thickened
- Let the sauce simmer for around five minutes. It becomes thick, glossy, and very fragrant.
Taste and Adjust Seasoning
- Taste the sauce and adjust heat or sweetness. Add more honey or pepper as you prefer.
Cool the Sauce Before Storing
- Let the sauce cool down fully. Store it in a glass jar and refrigerate for one week.
Notes
- Remove pepper seeds for a milder taste.
- Use ripe mango for sweeter sauce.
- Add extra honey for sticky wing sauce.
- Add ginger for a fresh flavor twist.
- Blend longer for ultra-smooth texture.
