Portuguese sauce is a sauce in Macanese cuisine.

In Macao, Portuguese sauce (Chinese: 葡汁, Portuguese: Molho português, Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmoʎu puɾtuˈɣeʃ]) refers to a sauce that is flavored with curry and thickened with coconut milk.^[1] It is an ingredient in Galinha à portuguesa, known as Portuguese Chicken in English-speaking societies.^[1]

The Portuguese sauce from Macao is considered to be a legacy of Portugal's colonization of Daman and Diu in India,^[1] and is likened to a mild yellow curry.^[2]

Despite its name, Portuguese sauce (along with Galinha à portuguesa) is a Macanese cuisine invention, and is not a sauce used in Portuguese cuisine.^[3]
