Sweet and Tangy Tilapia

I think there should be a rule of  "food physics" that if something tastes good, it tastes good with anything. It could be like a litmus test of sorts for good food. Obviously this couldn't be possible, because who would want to eat chocolate cream pie with pickles, (don't answer that please) but it's a nice theory... Anyways, if there was such a thing, this sweet and tangy sauce would definitely ace that test. Maybe you wouldn't eat the sauce with chocolate chip cookies, but it definitely kicks any steak, fish or chicken up to awesome
Here it is:

Sweet and Tangy Sauce
1/4 cup duck sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2-1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2  yellow teaspoon mustard

Stir everything together, and baste onto fish/chicken/meat before grilling,broiling or baking.

  2. Yellow mustard, and I totally agree. This covers up the "fishy" taste well.

  5. Good question: rinse the sweet potato in its skin, and wrap in a paper towel completely. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, longer if its extra large. Enjoy!

  9. Sure, the mustard just gives it a little tang, but its great without it too.
