• Charred or sautéed greens like kale, spinach, or collard greens take on a whole new life with a spoonful of this sauce. It's especially delicious when served over Grilled Broccolini, Air Fryer Green Beans and Asparagus.

💡 Tips for Making Boom Boom Sauce

• If you're not familiar with the sambal or sriracha, you may want to add it a little at a time, as you taste test it. Both sauces add a bit of heat.

• Let the sauce chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

• If the sauce is too thick for your liking, thin it with a small amount of water until it reaches the desired consistency for dipping or drizzling.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• If you don't have mayonnaise, you can either make your own or substitute with plain Greek yogurt instead.

• If you can't find traditional Sambal, you can use Sambal with garlic instead. If you cannot find either, you can use a sugar-free sweet Thai chili paste and just omit the sweetener in this recipe.

• Sriracha offers a little spicy kick, and it's a key ingredient. So if you don't like things too spicy, add a little more mayonnaise to tame the heat a bit, without losing any of the flavor.

• Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and zest to brighten up the flavors.

• Stir in some finely chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives for added freshness and color.

Why is it Called Boom Boom Sauce?

It's a playful name given to the sauce because it has an "explosion" of flavors.

What Does Boom Boom Taste Like?

The sauce is slightly sweet, a bit garlicky, and has a mild heat from ingredients like Sriracha or Sambal. It strikes a balance between sweet, savory, and spicy, making it a great dipping sauce or drizzle for seafood, chicken, and more.

Is Boom Boom Sauce Ok for Keto?

This homemade version is perfectly fine for keto. It uses sugar-free ketchup and other keto-friendly ingredients.

Can I Make This Sauce in Advance?

Of course! This sauce tastes even better after it's had some time for the flavors to meld together. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
