Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.125 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Tamarind paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional for vegan alternative, use miso paste)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, yellow mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, black pepper, ground cloves, and chili powder to the saucepan. Whisk well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the tamarind paste and optional anchovy paste or miso paste, ensuring they dissolve completely in the mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove any solids.
Transfer the Worcestershire sauce into a sterilized glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, and shake well before each use.
