Mumbo Sauce/Mambo Sauce

While i was searching for an easy breezy sauce to serve along with some french fries through google master, i got hooked to this new sauce which is completely unknown for me. Its seems this mumbo sauce or mambo sauce have its origin from Chinese take out restaurants in USA especially in Washington and its surrounding area. This sauce is an excelllent condiment to serve along with fried foods or else with crunchy vegetables, actually i loved it with some raw cauliflower florets. This red sauce is quickly prepared with easy ingredients like tomato ketchup and it is flavoured with paprika powder, vinegar,hot sauce with sugar. This sauce tastes mildly hot with sweetness, hence you can serve it easily to anyone.

You can make a huge batch of this mambo sauce and they stays prefect if they are conserved properly though i tried a small batch. I was quite skeptical about the taste of this sauce, but trust me this is one of my kids favourite since ever i served this sauce with french fries. However i used store bought ketchup for making this sauce. If you love to make homemade ketchup, dont forget to give a try to this sauce. Am sure you will love it. Am running my third week of blogging marathon with dips & sauces as theme, hence am posting this mambo sauce/mumbo sauce.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#58.
