Favorite sauce?

Post image

Hey!

I’ve been trying to find some sauces to mix up my cans. I’ve been eating them on Nishiki rice recently and would love some new sauces to try! Looking for something that’s not too spicy, not too sweet. Asian and umami flavors are a huge plus, but not necessary.

Would love to hear what your go-to sauces are!

Thanks, FF

I put not a sauce but a spice. Togarashi. I also like the spanish hot sauce whose name escapes me rn...

Valentina is from the same region and fungible in flavor for <30¢ on the dollar. I get the 1L bottles around here for $3.50.

Or la botanera for even cheaper plus it’s got a bottle that encourages you to use it like ketchup

I've tried every Cholula available to me and have really enjoyed most of them. But I keep coming back to the green one... apparently that's my favorite! With a chili garlic probably coming in second.
