FAQ

Can this go in a shake jar?

No — this one needs a blender or stove, so make it from this page. Jars only carry pour-and-shake sauces.

What do the quantities mean?

Amounts in the ingredient list are from the published source, converted to ml and grams where the ingredient allows. On a jar, every sauce scales to the same fill height.
