Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Finely mince the onion into very small pieces.

    Advice : The smaller the onion pieces, the better they blend with the sauce for a smooth mouthfeel. If the onion is too sharp, soak it in water for 5 minutes after mincing and squeeze out the moisture thoroughly.

    Ingredients
    Onion 1/4 piece
  2. 2

    In a bowl, add the sugar, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, paprika powder, and garlic powder. Then add the mayonnaise, salsa sauce, harissa, and lemon juice and mix well.

    Advice : Adding garlic powder sharpens the flavor and makes it go well with meat dishes. Mixing the powdered spices first helps prevent lumps.

    Ingredients
    Sugar 1/2 tsp
    Salt Pinch
    Black pepper Pinch
    Cumin powder 1/4 tsp
    Paprika powder 1/2 tsp
    Garlic powder 1/4 tsp
    Mayonnaise 8 tbsp
    Salsa sauce 2 tbsp
    Harissa (or Doubanjiang) 1 tsp
    Lemon juice 1 tsp
  3. 3

    Add the minced onion to the mixed sauce and combine everything together. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

    Advice : It tastes great freshly made, but letting it sit allows the aroma of the spices to develop and brings out the sweetness of the onion for a more authentic flavor.

    Rest in the refrigerator 30 min
    Ingredients
    Onion 1/4 piece
