Subway's:Chipotle southwest sauce (Yassy's version; Roast beef sandwich with Asian chipotle sauce)
Now and then, when we go to restaurants, me and my husband find interesting sauce,dips, or dishes and we love to taste them and guess what are in the sauce/dip etc.
Sometimes, it is easy to guess,but other times, it is quite complex flavor, and cannot put my fingers on,but it is fun to guess what are in the sauce.
When we have interesting dishes at restaurants, I get inspired by those dishes/soup/sauce/dip etc.. and I like to re-create the flavor with twist.
Recently, my husband has found an interesting sauce for the sandwich (Chipotle Southwest sauce) at Subway's, and I had a sandwich with it and, I liked it.
After each bite, I started thinking about what are in the sauce, and how I can make it with my own twists. I think it came pretty close to their sauce, but mine has got more flavor, and it is a little bit more spicier than their chipotle southwest sauce.
Here is the sandwich I came up with; Roast beef sandwich with Asian chipotle sauce. In the sauce, I have used Thai's hot chili sauce called "Sriracha". That makes the sauce more bold,big characteristic flavor.
The Sriracha definitely gives the sauce a bit zing and has a kick to it. That "zing" is what makes this sandwich tasty. Since we both liked the sauce, I thought I will share the recipe with you.
Since I had some roast beef I could use for sandwich, I made Roast beef sandwich, but you could make the sandwich with chicken breast cutlet, beef strips etc with same sauce.

Asian chipotle sauce..
When I make sandwich, I usually get Italian bread, Semolina bread, Chiabata bread you can find at bakery store. I usually cut the one whole bread into 4, so it can yield 4 servings. The bread I used for the picture above is Semolina bread with sesame seed on it.
Semolina bread is made from semolina flour,which often used to make pasta out of it. The bread goes well for the sandwich.
<Asian chipotle sauce>
1. In the small ball, add 1/4C Mayo, 1/8C Whole grain Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice from 1/2lime, dash of garlic powder and mix well
** My favorite brand of Whole grain dijon mustard is by Maille "Old style" with black lid with French flag sticker on. You can find them at local grocery store.
2. Add 1-2 chipotle chiles in adbobo sauce, chopped fine, into the sauce
** Chipotle chile in adobo sauce can be found at International aisle where you find all Mexican food ingredients are.
What is chipotle chile in adobo sauce?
Chipotle chile is basically a smoked jarapano, and they are canned in adobo sauce made from tomato,garlic,vinegar,onion,sugar,salt, and paprika.
My favorite brand for chipotle chile in adobo sauce is via La Costena. You can find small cans at grocer store.
** When you did not use the chipotle chile in adobo sauce in the can, you can pour everything into a zip bag,and freeze them until next time.
3. Add handful of cilantro chopped, into the sauce and mix well
4. Add sriracha to the sauce till your preferred spiciness
What is Sriracha sauce?
Sriracha is a Thai version of hot chili sauce. It is a little thicker consistency than regular American hot sauce and it has much different flavor to it. With consistency wise,it is more like a consistency of tomato paste if you will.
You can get the Sriracha chili sauce at International food aisle at the local grocery store or at Target. If you live near Asian stores, they should carry the condiment as well.
My favorite brand for Sriracha chili sauce is by Huy Fong Foods and you can look for green top squeeze bottle with white letters on. Bellow is a picture of Sriracha.

5. Keep the sauce in the fridge until sandwich assembling time.
<Toppings>
Toppings I used are.. thinly sliced red onion, sliced raw red/green peppers, a bit of baby spinach, Angus beef roast beef from Deli counter and Pepper jack cheese.
** Secret tip for the raw onion **
Sometimes,when you get sandwich from sandwich place, it has so strong zing to it enough to make your eyes watery or nose runny.
You can reduce the incident by following the steps bellow.This is something I learned from my mother in the past.
1. Slice onion as thin as you can
2. Put them in the Tupperware, and pour water in,stir and pour water out. Then,add water in, lid on and keep them in the fridge.
Thinly sliced onion rinsed in water and kept in chilled water makes less likely to have strong zing to it.
<Assembling sandwich>
1. Cut the bread length wise, cut side up in the toaster and toast it lightly
2. Set the oven "broiler high"
3. In the small sheep pan, line it with foil and place the bottom of the sandwich
4. Smear the Asian chipotle sauce on the bottom, place roast beef, and cover it with pepper jack cheese (or Montrey jack cheese),put it under broiler and wait till it gets melted
5. When cheese is melted nicely, place number of baby spinach and put sliced raw red onion,raw green/red peppers and put the top on and serve
** If you were not fan of spicy sauce, you can omit the Sriracha chili sauce and reduce the amount of chipotle chile in adobo sauce.
This sauce would be good for salad, and could use as unique dips for fried food such as deep fried fish,deep fried ravioli, deep fried french fries etc. I can see that sauce could be good with burger too.
Enjoy!
