Bang Bang Sauce is sweet, spicy and creamy dipping sauce.  It's served in some restaurants, including Bonefish Grill, but it is super easy to make at home.

I'd suggest this sauce is a "copycat" of the Bonefish Grill sauce but truth be told I've never tried it!  But if you have I'll let you be the judge.

This dipping sauce is a twist on my favourite spicy mayonnaise, with the addition of sweet chilli sauce.  It's perfect served with shrimp, chicken, fries or my beloved bang bang cauliflower.

Why you'll love this recipe...

  • Super easy
  • Full of flavour

How to make bang bang sauce - step by step

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

  • Use store bought or homemade mayonnaise – it all works.
  • If you're having trouble tracking down sweet chilli sauce check the Asian section of your local supermarket, or an asian grocer.  It's a common ingredient in Thai cooking.
  • Play around with the measurements.  The recipe as written is on the more mild side, so it’s great if you’re feeding some more spice adverse people (like kids!).  But if you love things hot and spicy you might want to up the amount of sriracha.  Just give it a taste test and add in more if you’d like.
  • Feel free to double, triple etc the recipe. The amount as is will be perfect for 2 people to share with a meal.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.

Glazed Carrots full recipe 🥕🍵: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/#sidedishrecipes OR comment with "CARROT" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐🍴 Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient. #glazedcarrots #carrotrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #cookitrealgood #veggies #sidedishes #sidedishrecipes

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/ OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐 I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It's on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta. Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe
