A good, or bad, barbecue sauce can make or break a dish. The wrong barbecue sauce can also ruin a great dish due to a mismatch of flavors. A sauce with lots of vinegar works well with a fattier cut of meat like pork shoulder but not as great with a lean cut. Granted, some is personal preference and personal taste which can overcome some of these guidelines.
This sauce is a great BBQ sauce for pulled pork, ribs, chicken, etc. This brings a more tropical flavor profile to the meat. Typically, anything with a tropical or Asian flavor profile will either have soy sauce or teriyaki sauce which contains gluten. For our gluten-free friends we used created this with coconut aminos which means it is gluten-free.
