A word about this preparation...
Here you have the base for cashew sauce, but you can enhance it with different ingredients to vary its flavor:
Sriracha sauce (chili)
Spices (turmeric, paprika, cumin...)
Cooked mushrooms in small pieces
Fresh herbs (chives, coriander/cilantro...)
You can vary its consistency by increasing or decreasing the amount of water. For a burger, a thicker consistency is preferred, while for a salad, you'll want a more liquid sauce.
You can keep this sauce in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
