💡 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.
