Manong’s Sauce (Sweet and Salty Street Food Sauce)
Pam from Pinoybites
The most popular street food dipping sauce in the Philippines. It’s a mixture of sweet and salty notes with bits of onions and garlic. The perfect sauce!
Mix water, soy sauce, brown sugar and salt in a small pot and bring to a boil.
As it starts to simmer, slowly add in the cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water). Once boiling, simmer for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
Mix in the onion and garlic and season with ground black pepper. Turn the heat off.
Refrigerate leftovers (covered). Just warm in a small pot before use.
