Vegan Buffalo Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup hot sauce (Frank's RedHot or Tabasco)
- 1/4 cup vegan butter or oil
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vegan worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika if you want it spicy)
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- You start with a base of vegan butter, add in some oil, then add your seasonings and stir until they're well combined. Then you let the mixture sit overnight.
- When you wake up the next day, add in more water or vegetable broth (it depends on how thick you like your sauce) and stir again until smooth.
- Then cook it down over low heat until it's reduced by half its original volume (about 30 minutes).
- Once your sauce is ready, toss it in with some vegan chicken wings or tofu nuggets—or whatever else you can think of! Try adding some hot sauce or pineapple juice if you want something different from what you get at restaurants (or keep it simple).
