Hot sauce is a great addition to so many meals. It will go great inside your burritos, with chicken, or as a dip for your chips. If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with making hot sauce in your own kitchen, here are three recipes you’ll love. 

Classic Fermented Hot Sauce

Ingredients:

  • Peppers (like jalapeños, habaneros)
  • garlic
  • onions
  • salt
  • water

Chop peppers and combine them with other ingredients in a jar. Allow the mixture to ferment for a few days to weeks, blending it periodically. Strain and store for a tangy, complex-flavored hot sauce.

Vinegar-Based Hot Sauce

Ingredients:

  • Peppers (such as cayenne, serrano)
  • vinegar
  • garlic
  • salt
  • optional sweetener

Blend all ingredients. Simmer the mixture for a few minutes, then strain for a vibrant, tangy sauce. Add sweetener for balance if desired.

Fruity Hot Sauce

Ingredients:

  • Fruit (mango, pineapple)
  • hot peppers (jalapeños, Thai chilies)
  • onion
  • vinegar
  • Lime juice
  • salt

Blend all the ingredients and simmer the mixture until thickened for a sweet, spicy hot sauce.

Customizing Your Hot Sauce

There’s so much room for experimentation. Try mixing different types of peppers for varied heat and flavor profiles. You can remove the seeds for a milder sauce, leave them in for an extra kick, or incorporate spices.

Out of all the different products that food companies have so brilliantly invented over the years, one of the most popular is hot sauce. To some, hot sauce is merely a condiment that you occasionally put on your plate to add a little bit of spice to your food. But to others, it’s a beautiful world of endless flavors and varying degrees of hotness. But wherever it is that you fall on that spectrum, we’re here to say that there’s a problem with putting too much hot sauce on your food.

It Can Affect Your Taste Buds

The main reason people love using hot sauce is because it adds a nice kick to their food. But another way to phrase that is that their dish simply isn’t tasty enough. There’s nothing wrong with adding hot sauce to your food, but when you overdo it, you may eventually have a tough time appreciating your food without it.

Hot sauce is wonderful, but when used too much, it can make your food seem boring and dull on its own. So make sure to use it sparingly!

If you love Baja Blast from Mountain Dew, you’ll love this bit of news. The carbonated drink has popped up occasionally over the years, but never for very long. Yet, it still remains one of the brand’s most popular flavors, with its tropical lime taste. 

Now, that unique flavor is inspiring something spicy.

In case you didn’t know, January 22 marks National Hot Sauce Day (don’t worry, it’s news to us, too). To celebrate this auspicious holiday, Mountain Dew has decided to partner up with a Houston-based sauce shop called iBurn to create a hot sauce with a signature fruity tinge.

So what can we expect?

“The new MTN DEW Baja Blast Hot Sauce merges the iconic tropical flavor of the fan-favorite MTN DEW Baja Blast with the heat from habanero peppers, green chiles, and jalapeño peppers for a taste straight from Baja Island!” states the description.

And in true Baja Blast style, the hot sauce is blue!

But those who want to taste the spicy stuff will have to have a fair bit of luck on their side…

Mountain Dew has decided to make only 750 bottles of the sauce—all of which can only be won. The competition on the soft drink’s website involves selecting one of four foods that you’d like to try with the Baja Blast Hot Sauce.

Good luck!

When you think of hot and spicy cuisine, what part of the world comes to mind? While Mexico might be the first place that pops into your mind, the real heat can be found in Asia. From India to the Korean Peninsula, the food in these diverse countries contain plenty of spicinesses.

Are you looking to bring a taste of Asian heat to your kitchen? Seek out these delicious sauces.

Sriracha

Sriracha is one of the most popular and well-known hot sauces on Earth, and it’s easy to see why. The garlicky heat provided by this sauce from Thailand goes well with just about everything.

Gochujang

Gochujang is really more of a paste than it is a sauce, but it’s definitely possible to spread this all over your favorite foods. This fermented paste is made with spicy and sweet Korean red peppers.

Sambal

Indonesia is the home of Sambal, a sauce that pairs magnificently with seafood, chicken, and veggies alike. Made with a mix of chili peppers along with shrimp paste, garlic, shallot, ginger, and lime juice, you’ll find this extremely flavorful sauce to be addictive.

Mexico has a rich tradition of spicy and smoky foods.

If you go to a Mexican restaurant, you have to be prepared to try a wide variety of burning hot sauces, salsas, and dishes that are as delicious as they are spicy.

Here are some of the top Mexican hot sauces that one can find and add to give a kick to your next dish.

Cholula

Cholula is a tasty and well-rounded hot sauce that is spicy, but not too hot. This sauce is produced in Jalisco, Mexico and is made out of arbol and piquin peppers, giving it its characteristic red color.

Tapatio

While Tapatio isn’t exactly from Mexico, but rather from Mexican immigrants that began to produce this sauce in California, it’s the least hot of these options, but its rich red pepper flavor adds a smoky bite to any dish.

El Yucateco

El Yucateco is known for its characteristic green color, which comes from the extra spicy habanero peppers that are used in its production. Use this sauce sparingly if your taste buds aren’t used to heat!

Valentina

Valentina is the last on this list, but definitely not the least. Produced in Guadalajara, it’s a citrusy, spicy sauce that adds an interesting tangy hot flavor. It’s especially great with seafoods like shrimp tacos.

Mayonnaise

Mayo is the base for so many other great condiments, so perfecting it is necessary, and luckily it couldn’t be easier. Simply whisk or blend an egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and ½ teaspoon of salt together until the mixture is bright yellow. Then, gently add in olive oil while continuing to whisk or blend, and you’ll have amazing mayonnaise!

Tartar Sauce

Tartar sauce is absolutely when you’re eating fried fish, whether it’s in a sandwich or by itself.  Instead of using something from a jar, make the recipe above for mayonnaise, add onions and dill pickles, and you have yourself gourmet tartar sauce.
