I enjoyed all three as follows:
Kumana Avocado Hot sauce
Los Angeles
Key ingredients- onion, mango and bell pepper purée
Avocado purée, vinegar, cilantro, parsley, salt jalapeño,
Habanero.
I am a sucker for most anything avocado. I ended up pouring about 1/8 cup on a plate and dipping my sandwich. Great avocado flavor with a fair amount of heat. This would work well on Mexican, Tex-Mex, pizza or anything you would put avocado on.
Stone Tangerine Express IPA hot sauce
Carlsbad, CA
Key ingredients- Beer, tangerine juice, apple cider vinegar, habaneros, pineapple juice, honey, crushed red pepper, ginger and coriander.
As I have said earlier, there is an opportunity to spice up many dishes with a fruit filled hot sauce. This one is no different, great flavor and would be a great addition to seafood or chicken. This would make a great dip for shrimp scampi or cocktail. One of the more complex hot sauces when you review the ingredients. Addictive heat.
NOH Hawaiian Hot Sauce
Honolulu, HI
Key ingredients- water, vinegar, blended miso, soybeans, red
Pepper, sea salt, sugar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, black pepper.
I really wasn’t sure what to make of this one after I tried it. It is not particularly hot. Then I thought of one of my favorite dishes, Chicken Katsu. I could see emptying half a bottle on it. Pretty simple, not as sweet as a teriyaki sauce. Would make a great dipping sauce.
