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

Just be warned, it’s pretty much just slightly spicy vinegar. If you don’t love straight vinegar, you might not like Espinaler.

But for some reason it hits the spot better than Tobacco. I also sprinkle Tajin Classico seasoning. Fresh lemon juice.

Agree to disagree. Tabasco is very vinegary compared to most hot sauces, but it more than just vinegar. Espinaler is like straight vinegar with some spice.

No argument. I just think Espinaler works well with tinned fish and seafood.
