This sauce was absolutely delicious... I followed the recipe except for the garlic I just used some Garlic-Jalapeno paste and I put more crushed red pepper... I love spicy... and a friend also commented this could even be used for chicken wings... Haha I tasted the sauce and at first it tasted sweet then you feel the hotness after about 15 seconds lol...
A wonderful sweetness & tiny bit of spice is the perfect compliment for lumpias thanks for the recipe!
Sorry but we didn't really like this. It didn't taste like most lumpia sauce I have had. It was really sweet. We love garlic too but it seemed like 2 tbsp. was a little to much.
This was a great recipe, but a little bit too sweet for us. I made it as written to start and then added a second cup of water; it's still too sugary though it worked great as a sauce. I'd recommend adding the brown sugar in a little bit at a time until the taste is right.
Very good. Adjust garlic and red pepper flakes to taste. I added almost twice as much red pepper flakes and only made half the recipe. A keeper.
Really good sauce - nice mix of sweet and hot. It probably could stand to be a little hotter...
Tasty and very easy sauce. I upped the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon & it really gave it a great heat. Withouth the spicy notes it would be way too syrupy sweet.
Everyone enjoyed it a bit sweet but it went really well with the lumpia.
This was a great base but I made quite a few changes as many users suggested and it turned out amazing. I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and it was still far too sweet. I used 3 minced garlic cloves but didn't measure much of anything else, just added to taste. Added some rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, a lot more chili flakes and the zest of an orange. With these additions, this was one of the best sauces I have ever had!
