How to Make Homemade Mock Tiger Sauce Substitute

  1. In a non-reactive stockpot, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon garlic paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro.
  2. Bring the mixture to a brisk boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, for 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Let the sauce cool slightly before carefully transferring it to a blender in batches. Blend until completely smooth.
  5. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother consistency).
  6. Once cool, transfer the sauce to sterilized bottles or jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
