McDonald’s Inspired Curry Sauce & 3 Ways to Use It
If you’re like us and need some of McDonald’s legendary curry sauce now, then make your own with easy to obtain ingredients! The signature sweet mild curry dip needs just a heap of curry powder, peanut butter (you probably already guessed this), apple cider vinegar to balance and a fair bit of other condiments, like savoury soy and a whisper of umaminess in some chicken stock. Heat them all up and drip or dunk over everything, like the all-time perfect pair of chicken nuggets, or scrambled eggs, and this might be your new favourite pairing –instant noodles. Refrigerate to keep, and warm up whenever you need some creamy curry dippin'.
