Fucking cholulu. Its one if the best. Franks and cholula god damn what to do. I'd say you can use cholula for fried chicken but its better for grilled chicken. For grilling cholula has a stronger base and burns crazy good. I've made my best with it. But franks is so well rounded. You can put it on most foods. A few splashes on pizza to draining a bottle on Greek fries or homemade wings.

When it comes to Southern-style hot sauce, I'd say Louisiana is the best.

I first discovered it at the dollar store. It thought it'd taste really low-quality. Why else would it be sitting in a dollar store?

Ok so, I've found out that if you mix tabasco with ketchup it makes the perfect hot sauce. Open the ketchup bottle and pour a lot of tabasco to your preferred hotness. You have to mix it well. Don't forget to label the ketchup bottle.

I like green mexican chilli sauce, I was surprised to learn it was mostly carrot, I suppose to form the base of the sauce
regular ol tobasco is OK, but I prefer the extra hot nando's sauce; which I buy in litre bottles
sarichi is good only for microwave pork buns and pre-made dumplings, if you're cooking with it you shouldn't be

last year I preserved some special indian chillis I got from an ethnic store, the lady behind the counter told me not to buy them because they were really hot and I was white
I mixed them with powdered seczhan peppercorns and they have been a good adition to a base soup, and also for kimchi

Cholula is good because it has more of tomaoto base so it works better as a condiment. Its no wonder they have it as the default at so many restaurants. It has good flavor. Just not super hot.

Frank's is middle-ground. A decent, well-rounded sauce. Salty, vinegary and pleasantly spicy. It's not pucker levels of sour like Louisiana. Both would be superb with fried chicken.

Texas Pete is basically Franks, but worse. Choluta is better for seasoning things at the table.

I don't know why, but I really, REALLY don't like a lot of bottled hot sauces. It might just be that I grew up eating very spicy food, dunno. A lot of them are bland and taste like watered-down ketchup.

I didn't particularly like Tabasco or Sriracha, either. However, I do like Sambal Oelek.

Could you guys recommend me any similar products to Sambal Oelek, or am I better off crushing up my own chili peppers?

>> No.7082066

>Sambal Oelek
That's because it's GOAT and goes well with everything. I think hot sauces without a real falvour are the best when cooking.
If you actually want to have some taste you will have to crush the chili peppers.
A restaurant specialised in hot food makes their own hot sauce and the taste is incredible.

I really want to try this stuff, but I live in a kinda plebby part of the UK when it comes to food. I can't find it anywhere. My brother lives about 20 minutes away from a Chinese supermarket and brought me some of pic related last time he visited. It's nice, but not Sambal Oelek.

Any Britbros know where to buy it? If not, I'll make some.

As well as that stuff, I also have Cholula. It's good, but the only thing I have it with is quesadillas. Can anyone recommend foods that go nicely with either of the 2 hot sauces? My current recipe is to put some onto a spoon/knife and then eat it off said spoon/knife.

"Nothing Beyond", 500,000 SHU.

It's quite moderate as the "extreme sauces" go, but enough that one drop on a toast is enough to make me sweat. Two-three drops per a Ramen bowl make it an interesting experience too, sweat, hiccups and all.

Generally if I want a dish spicy, I no longer need to add shitloads of peppers or condimens, a couple drops of this give it heat and any chilies etc are just for flavor. And a cup of hot broth with two drops of it on a cold day is a life-saver; making me feel hot in a few moments.

Considering the flask of 5 oz cost me some $10 and I'm rarely using more than 2-3 drops at a time, it's really great from economical point of view. Instead of a pound of chillies to make a big pot of Lecsó spicy, I can get generic bell peppers or other cheap vegetables, squirt a little of the sauce in and have it steaming hot.
