what's the best hot sauce?

Sriracha, Sambal Olek, and Chipotle in Adobo.

Those are my hands down, all time, any food favorites.

I think I have tried that one. And, IIRC, I liked it enough to look for it on shelves but never found it.


Lately tho, i have been using teh Chipotle in Adobo mixed with Mayo as a dipping sauce for a LOT of things. Damn it is tastey.

I like the chinese chili garlic sauce (the one with the rooster on the bottle). This stuff is great for soups, pastas, chicken etc. If you need to get rid off a cold, just add a spoonful of this stuff into chicken noodle soup! http://www.huyfong.com/no_frames/garlic.htm

I also like more traditional hot sauce. I like good all' Red Hot, Cholula and Tapatio: http://www.tapatiohotsauce.com/history.html

My wife just calls that stuff "Sambal". And the one with garlic she calls "Sambal Olek".

I dunno if it's right, but it works and it always sound less alarming to guests whe you say "It has a spoon of Sambal for heat" rather than "I added some white rooster sauce for the spice".

Cause, that latter is always met with "what part did the sauce come out of?"

Oh, a good one for cooking with is El Pato:


Use it anywhere you would use tomato sauce but want some heat as well. Or some of us just use it like ketchup.
