Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw Cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for about 30 minutes to soften them. This will result in a smoother sauce texture.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly once they are softened.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, unsweetened almond milk, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the nutritional yeast, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again until all the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more sriracha for extra heat or more lemon juice for tanginess.
Step 6
Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly. This will help thicken the sauce slightly and blend the flavors.
Step 7
Once heated, remove the Vegan Creamy Sriracha Sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve the sauce immediately as a drizzle over salads, tacos, Buddha bowls, or use it as a dip for veggies and fries.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Shake or stir the sauce before each use as it may thicken upon cooling.
