Samurai sauce is a typical Belgian sauce (not to be confused with Algerian sauce), quite spicy, traditionally served with fries and not being, as its name suggests, native to Japan

Samurai sauce can accompany almost any of your dishes. It is particularly ideal for raising sandwiches, kebabs, but also to accompany grilled meat or fries. It will also be great for your barbecues. Beware because it is delicious but quite spicy!

Samurai is a cold sauce made from tomato paste and red peppers. Therefore, this sauce has a very pronounced spicy taste. In addition, Samurai sauce is made with chili extract and chili powder for a long and deep taste experience.

What is samurai sauce?

Concretely, what is the samurai? Although it has a rather Japanese name, it would rather be of Belgian origin. It is a sauce made from mayonnaise to which is added “sambal oelek”, an Indonesian pepper paste. If you can’t find one, you can replace it with harissa sauce or any other chili paste.

It is a kind of mayonnaise very spicy, with red pepper!

The origin of sauce samourai

Despite the oriental name and the mixture of exotic peppers, this sauce is quite Belgian. It is therefore not surprising that this sauce is perfectly combined with typical Belgian snacks.

For example, samurai is extremely popular in the chip shop, where it is frequently ordered with fries, fried snacks or skewers. In addition, we often see the sauce appear in sandwich shops and snack bars as a topping on sandwiches and burgers, especially with chicken.

Samurai sauce has been one of those popular Belgian sauces since the early 2000s.

Popular and classic Belgian brands offered some famous classic sauces throughout the country. People love sauces in Belgium because, as you probably know, Belgians love Fries and Fries. So naturally having a wide range of sauces would make the experience different with each bite.

Samurai, Andalusian, American, all these sauces are the predecessors of what will become the new classic sauces in Europe; the Algerian sauce, Big Up Sauce, Fish, Cheezy and Pepper.

Sandwich samurai sauce

In order to fully appreciate the flavor of our samurai sauce, we share with you a new recipe.

Indeed, what could be better than a sandwich to let the full potential of a sauce express itself? Its taste is not masked and sublimates the other ingredients: ideal!

In the first place, choose a good traditional style of bread, wide enough to garnish it generously. Then, cut them along the entire length. We let you choose the size …
In a second step, take care of the filling. First, cut a chicken cutlet into cubes. Then, sauté it in warm oil until it takes on a beautiful golden color. Then, salt, and pepper and add curry powder and a hint of paprika. If necessary, pour the bottom of the water and cook.
Cut half a green pepper into very small dice and add them to your chicken. In the meantime, also slice a little red onion and set it aside.
Once everything is well cooked, brush your bread with samurai sauce so that both sides are covered. Then garnish it with chicken-pepper stuffing as well as minced red onion.
Finally, arrange the slices of cheddar cheese and close.
Finally, put your sandwich in the oven to melt the cheese and crisp the bread! Enjoy your meal!
