Rooster Sauce

[desertdog]

Alright most of us on this sight live in the Southwest and the ones that don't are familiar with the food and great hot sauces. This is not a normal hot sauce you usually find in our restaurants. But if you have ever eaten Chinese I am sure you have tried it or at leased seen it. Its actually called Sriracha but Rooster sounded like a better thread title

 

So for those that have tried this stuff what do you like it on. And for those that haven't do yourself a favor and get some.

 

And sense we are on the topic what other hot sauces do you guys douse your food in.

I used to use it quite a bit when I was chefin' in Guam.

I guess I might have got burnt out on it as I don't use it much anymore.

 

My Thai friend used to make it from scratch and his was more traditional and much much better that what is sold commercially.

He used to put it in seafood dishes and it catered really well when paired that way.

 

Lately I've been using Cholula as well as the old classic staple Tabasco.

I use it when I cook asian food, mostly sauces. I use tapatio a lot more though, I rarely make asian food.

Adding stuff to food to make it taste like something it isn't is not necessarily a "Southwestern thing."

 

I was born in Tucson 75 years ago and have lived in Arizona all my life and have never understood why anyone would put anything on what they eat that causes pain coming and going, or ruin a good piece of meat with sauces or rubs.

 

My wife of 55 years, God bless her, drowns her food in Cholula and eats jalapeños as if they were candy. I won't eat chilies except the mild green ones without seeds. No catsup or meat sauces, either. If I can taste garlic in something, it's too strong for me.

 

To each his own. I prefer that my food be naked except for, rarely, a small dash of black pepper.

I love green Tabasco, I put that @#$% on everything.............! Franks red hot is pretty good too.

LOL! I laugh everytime I hear that commercial with that old lady sayin' that!

 

I was stuck on the Cholula, but the Tapatio ranks right up there with it and I might like it better.

 

I'm a hot sauce NUT, I literally put it on everything! Probably the best sauce I've had is home made Chilitepin (sp?) sauce. Those little peppers grow wild on some of the ranches we hunt in Mexico and the flavor is amazing. They can be extremely hot, especially if you try one right off the bush while out hunting! I don't reccomend doing that! But it's easy to tame the sauce down with more tomatoes. My brother got the recipe from our mexican friends and has been making it regularly and it's addicting stuff!

This bush literally had thousands of Chiltepin peppers on it.

I'm sure Chef has a lot of ideas for different hot sauces. Such as marinades dipping sauces........stuff like that.

 

I am a hot sauce nut as well. I like to mix Sriracha with mayo and katchup. It makes a great dipping sauce for fries and onion rings. Some times I like to mix it in with hamburger and then make hamburgers. It gives it a little kick. Also it is really good mixed with tuna. I know that sounds wired but its good. It is also great in soups.

 

Tapatio is great to make wings with instead of Franks. I like to marinade the wings in it and then toss them on the grill.

 

I love all the Tabasco's. Especially the normal red on tuna salad.

 

I like them all Tapatio, Cholula, Tabasco, Sriracha, and many more. As some have mentioned the homemade stuff is the best. I like to make a simple sauce with green chili's. And the fresher roasted the better. The ones form New Mexcio are the best. The Hatch Chili's are grown in a lot of states .

I made the mistake of eating one of those Chiltepin peppers off the bush one time. Won't be making that mistake again. They looked so cute though and couldn't resist. It was about 20 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was actually trying to wash my mouth out with a garden hose. I didn't have anything else to eat or drink. My nose was running like a sieve, eyes watering, I had the hick-ups and my stomach felt like a bomb went off in it.

 

For those of you that like hot food. Los Dos Molinos is right here in Mesa and it is HOT. I like hot food as long as it has good flavor but I think they are almost too hot.

[billrquimby]

There is a Los Dos Molinos in Springerville, too. I don't think its food is almost too hot. I KNOW it, and there is no "almost."

I'm with you on the Arizona Gunslinger habanero is the best! A must have when your cooking up burgers with some Busch's Baked Beans. Now I'm getting hugry. But I also use Rooster sauce on carne Asada Burrito's.
