Our Hot Sauce Hall of Fame
Frank's RedHot Original
Just like our commitment to quality, Frank's RedHot delivers consistency. A true American icon, Frank's RedHot Original has been setting tongues on fire since 1920. General Manager, Jono swears by this sauce, which has remained a lunchbox staple. With just 5 simple ingredients, this sauce packs a serious punch.
Here's why it's a champion:
- Made with aged cayenne red peppers
- Historically significant as the original Buffalo wing sauce in 1964
- Currently the #1 hot sauce brand in America
Sriracha
Huy Fong's Sriracha is in a league of its own. Our editor’s note it's "thick, savoury" flavour that has a ketchup-like consistency. Its distinctive squeeze bottle design is perfect for easy use and is excellent for adding a delicious, spicy flavour to soups, sauces, pasta, pizza, and more.
The 'Wang' Sauce
Our QLD team’s secret weapon, the Xianglawang Fu Yun spicy sauce is a fiery companion that adds kick to any dish. This spicy sauce is part of a rich tradition of Chinese chili sauces, adding depth and heat to a variety of dishes.
Ngon Lam Fried Chilli in Oil
Ngon Lam Fried Chilli in Oil, also known as "The Dung", is a fiery Thai condiment that packs a punch of flavour in every spoonful. This delectable blend of high-quality dried red chilli, garlic, and other ingredients fried in oil will excite your taste buds. But beware, it doesn’t stop there. The intense flavour ignites the tongue with a fiery burn, leaving a lingering heat that dares you to take another bite!
Laoganma Hot Chilli Oil
Ye old faithful Hot Chilli Oil can make the blandest rice and tuna into the work of the Iron Chef. This versatile hot Chinese chilli oil is great for dipping sauces served with dumplings, won tons or prawn tempura. It’s also Kristin’s absolute favourite - our CEO loves it so much that she keeps spare jars stashed in her office, just in case of a spicy emergency!
Whether you're a heat seeker or a flavour chaser, there's a hot sauce out there waiting for you. Visit your local Asian grocery store to get your hands on these delicious hot sauces.
