Crab and Cream Cheese Padrón Poppers

This is what we are making with the Padróns at Casa Vargas…(I know that we are going off the ranch a bit with our use of some dairy and sugar, so do not come over to smack us on the back of the hand. If you do, you will be asked to eat one of these delicious poppers!)

Eel Sauce
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of mirin
1/4 cup of brown sugar
Combine soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a light boil so all the sugar is incorporated and entirely dissolved. Then lower the heat to medium-low (letting it simmer), and reduce the sauce until it starts to thicken.

Dynamite Sauce Recipe
3 Tablespoons of light Mayonnaise
3/4 Tablespoon of Siracha
Drizzle of sesame oil, lemon juice, brown sugar
Mix together until the two are fully incorporated.
