Miguel's Jalapeno White Sauce

[Guts]

I haven't posted here in sometime but came to look at Asian recipes found a few that I like. Thank you all very much.
Now back to the subject of Mexican white sauce. Here's one that I make that is exceptional. If there was a 10 star rating it would be a 10. This recipe can be used on fish, chicken, shrimp, or as a dipping sauce for chips heck it's good on cardboard, just kidding. Or maybe not!

Here's the recipe, I use grams but there are cups and spoons. There also. I also want to say the jalapenos are a pickled style they come in a jar can and sometimes use to go on top of tortilla chips covered with cheese.

Sounds yummy. How much chicken stock/bullion would that chicken base be equal to?

you would change the consistency of the sauce with more hydration using stock. I would say one maybe two bullion cubes would do the trick. But not stock or broth. I don't think that would work. The chicken base I use is called better than bullion chicken base they can be bought in most markets anywhere really great stuff!

That's why I don' buy bullion or stock.

I checked the ingredients. Much to my surprise, no MSG! But, there was hydrolysed soy protein and soy milk. I'm not supposed to have soy.
