Tzatziki Sauce

A refreshing blend of creamy yogurt, cool cucumber, and fragrant garlic, tzatziki sauce is a vibrant dance of textures and flavors. Its cool embrace is perfect for cutting through rich dishes, offering a refreshing contrast.

Notes

For the best results, use Greek yogurt for its thick, rich texture. Allow the sauce to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.

Uses

as a dip for vegetables and pita bread
topped on gyros or kebabs
as a spread for sandwiches

Replacements

cucumber raita for an Indian-inspired alternative
a mix of sour cream and diced cucumber for a lighter option

Sriracha

A vibrant, tangy, and fiery hot sauce with a perfect balance of garlicky spice and a touch of sweetness. Its smooth, reddish-orange hue promises a kick that awakens the palate.

Soy Milk

Soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from soaking, grinding, and boiling soybeans. Originating in East Asia, it has been consumed for centuries, particularly in China. Its flavor is mild and slightly nutty, with a subtle sweetness that varies depending on the brand and whether it is sweetened. The texture is smooth and creamy, often comparable to dairy milk, though it can sometimes have a slightly grainy or beany aftertaste if not processed well. Soy milk performs well in cooking and baking, as it can froth like dairy milk for lattes, and its high protein content helps provide structure in recipes. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in everything from smoothies to soups.
