Let's talk hot sauce

yup love sriracha^^ makes beef stew taste kick ass

[swiggidy]

So what are you peeps opinion on habanero?

I have been told there are good sauces that include it (possibly those mentioned in this thread). Personally I despise it. Habanero generally seems to be tasteless, and it burns down my throat into my stomach which is awful. The heat from cayenne and jalapeno stay in the mouth and I find to be much more delicious.

[d0zer]

I generally agree with you swig in that I prefer more cayenne/jalapeno sauces, but this is a good sauce, maybe cuz the habanero's cut & flavored with garlic and onions and shit.

[supa]

Habanero's awesome because of the smoky heat it has. Cut up a habanero, deseed it and cook it in fried rice. You can take out the habanero (or leave it in) and bam, smoky, spicy, super awesome fried rice. Obv many other dishes that can benefit from the same.

[DoubleJ]

was just in my local oriental supermarket and spotted a shelf full of this stuff, so thought i'd give it a go.

c'est bon

thanks for the tip

[d0zer]

I'm still on the sriracha and sambal oelek. is all I needs!

[jyms]

Even my 8 year old likes Sriracha now over Ketchup on just about everything he used to use ketchup on.

[BooG690]

It makes me smile that DoubleJ gave Sriracha a go and enjoyed it. Welcome to the club my friend.

Let's talk heartburn and heartburn remedies (this seems like just as good a thread as any). I've started to get it here and there (it's not TERRIBLE) and I don't want to stop putting hot sauce on everything (that seems silly). Any ideas?

[DoubleJ]

Welcome to the club my friend

why, thank ya kind Sir

but heartburn tho? if that's bothering you more than ring-sting, you need a stronger sauce.

ho ho

[Luco]

Bump for the awesomeness of sriracha

Also, reggae reggae sauce is a great entry level jerk sauce

[pantherhound]

How has this not been mentioned?

I dunno what they put in this but I can't stop eating it. It's amazing.

[Lukie]

tried clicking on buy sriracha shirt

does not work

[NightGizmo]

On Halloween, I saw a girl dressed as a sriracha bottle.

Chinese Hot Sauce Adult Costume 802222 (although the girl I saw wasn't nearly as busty)

[kingnat]

I noticed a sriracha bottle in an Asian food store that was markedly different than cock sauce and thought, "nice! perhaps a different spin".. but I think it's just a cheap knock-off. Any one have experience with other chili sauces that claim to be sriracha?

[Luco]

Well Sriracha is the type, not the brand IIRC, so you can get sriracha that isn't huy fong (rooster) sriracha

It's hard to get flying rooster sriracha in the UK, although flying goose sriracha is readily available (Tesco etc). The bottles are almost identical, the interwebs tells me rooster is slightly hotter and goose is slightly sweeter but there's not a lot between them.

[Pascal]

Great thread, had a search and found this place fairly near to me:

Otom - Authentic Mexican Products - Salsas and Sauces

I love Valentina sauce, it's not very hot but they have it at an incred burrito shop in Belfast. Going to go buy a bottle sometime

[dranger7070]

Why do you guys hate your assholes so much.

[supa]

We don't hate you dranger.

[dranger7070]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA.

Since when am I the asshole? I thought Ong had that shit on LOCKDOWN.

You said assholes which is plural, value towned yourself there a bit.

I was thinking it, you said it.

Already mentioned in another post, but I add it here for the record.

This is a great hot sauce: Mamasita's hot pepper pure Labuyo sauce

Made with Philippines bird's eye peppers. Hotter than Habanero Tabasco and tastes far better.

[surviva316]

I've actually been thinking about this thread lately because I was recently startled to find that I actually really like Tapatio. I'm not a huge fan of vinegar-based hot sauces, but this one actually tastes like yummy peppers instead of being pepper-flavored vinegar (aka, ass).

Hilarious

I was never impressed with the taste of the cock sauce, but was inspired to by a bottle because of this thread. Holy shit, it goes with everything. Count me as a fan.

Yeah, I can 2nd this.

The choices on the tables in the mexican restaurant at college were Tabasco or Tapatio, and so, OK, EZ choice... NOT Tobasco. I got to like Tapatio, and I agree with your assessment of vinegar-based sauces.

That said, I have Sriracha in my fridge now.

Oh yeah, make no mistake about it, Sriracha's still the big dick in town. There are just some foods where Sriracha doesn't quite match up as well as traditional hot sauces.

Eg: I make poorman's chorizo by buying cheap sausages and then marinating them in paprika mixed with hot sauce. Sriracha really doesn't work well with this. Also, it's not as good of a pairing with salsa verde.

But those are just the exceptions to the rule.

My range of sauces from Funky Chicken!

Going to be selling these on my website soon if any of you fancy it. (Sorry if this is Spam or something). I've only got my own, nearly empty bottles left as I sold out yesterday - making another load this weekend. I'm looking to get the labels printed properly as at the moment I'm just literally printing them at home...peel then stick.

Also have my own homemade Jalapeno Tabasco style sauce in the little bottle. I fermented it for 3months. Its pretty awesome, but too much hassle for me to make and sell.

The Jalapeno sauce is hot but has a really good flavour. Nice and fruity (I pretty much pick the chillies up from Heathrow airport and make the sauce that day).

The Scotch Bonnet is fecking fiery, but also has good flavour. But does burn!!!

[daviddem]

This weekend I am on to making my own sriracha with 100% Filipino "labuyo" peppers.

Will report here if I still have eyes and lungs after the cooking.

[mrhappy333]

we recently had some here. It really is great stuff.

The Dave's Insanity is pretty fucking hot also.

I've finally acquired a taste for srirachi. It comes hand in hand with my acquiring a taste for black, factory coffee.

It's a flavorful and colorful outlet for the harshness of the budgeted world.

[Lukie]

Someone educate me here.

I have never used sambal oelek that I can remember, but from what I gather here it is basically just chilies with no other salt/spices/herbs, and it's used with the intent of making food hotter while not altering the taste.

Personally I use some 99cent spice classics ground red pepper. Sometimes I use cayenne pepper instead. Actually the spice classics ground red pepper might actually be cayenne pepper. Either way it's pretty much the same idea that it adds heat without adding flavor. Other times I use crushed red pepper-- same idea basically

Is there any pressing reason to use sambal instead? I guess it would go better on a sandwich or something where you need a little moisture.

A pot a day keeps the doctor away.

[ImSavy]

Bought some of this to put on my burgers (which when I cba messing about can be a bit bland)



Does the job, but isn't anything fantastic.

[supa]

I actually really like cholula. It's a lot like tapatio but a more authentic flavor.

Sambal is fairly neutral, but has way more flavor than cayenne or crushed red pepper. Dried crushed red pepper also tends to distribute the heat unevenly compared to sambal. Try it, I like it a fair bit more as a general heat than either cayenne or dried red pepper.

[DoubleJ]

There's also a Chipotle Cholula which is great too

[Renton]

In southeast asia almost every place has crushed chilis in oil and that shit is the bomb. Not really a hot sauce aficionado, I tend to use whatever is available but I'll give a 74th nod to cock sauce, its obv great.

[Pascal]

recognise that bottle, think they had it at this incred burrito place in belfast i used to be a reg at. really really nice

[NightGizmo]

I actually really like cholula.

Ditto. And it's very common to find Cholula in restaurants around here, if you ask for it. Love it on eggs/skillets.

[Luco]

Just tried some extra hot reggae reggae sauce. It's seriously damn tasty. Think Jamaican jerk sauce with scotch bonnet chili
