    Spicy Dan Dan Sauce

    • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar. Taste and adjust seasonings to personal preference. I don't use the sesame oil but it does add a lovely nuttiness if you want another layer of flavour.
    • Add as much Dan Dan sauce as desired to 1 or 2 cups of hummus. The more sauce you add, the more intense the flavour will become. Taste as you go.
      I mixed around 3-4 tbsp of spicy Dan Dan sauce into 1 cup of hummus.
      Store left-over Dan Dan sauce in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Notes

    Extra Dan Dan sauce can be used in the Avocado Toast with Spicy Mushrooms recipe.
    The spicy Dan Dan hummus will store well in the fridge for a week or more. 
    QUICK DINNER: Stir extra Dan Dan hummus in some hot pasta (thinned with broth or left-over cashew cream if necessary) for a quick delicious meal.
