Questions about Hot chili pepper sauce
When should you add hot chili pepper sauce while cooking?
Stir it into soups, stews or sauces near the end, then simmer briefly and taste: prolonged cooking can dull its fresh chilli flavour. For a quick pan sauce, take the pan off the heat before mixing it in.
How much hot chili pepper sauce should you add to a dish?
Start with a few drops or a small spoonful, mix thoroughly and taste before adding more. It is easier to build the heat than to take it back out.
Does hot chili pepper sauce need to be refrigerated after opening?
Keep it in the fridge after opening to help preserve its flavour, and use a clean spoon or pour directly from the bottle. If you see mould or notice an unexpected change in smell or appearance, discard it.
What foods go well with hot chili pepper sauce?
Try a few drops on eggs, grilled meat, prawns, noodles, rice or beans; it also livens up tomato soup and a cheese toastie. Add it at the table when you want everyone to control their own heat.
What can you use instead of hot chili pepper sauce?
For heat, finely chopped fresh chilli works, though it will not bring the same tang or pourable texture. If you want a closer, saucy substitute, mix chilli flakes with a little vinegar and water.
How can you make hot chili pepper sauce less hot in a dish?
Dilute the dish with more of its main ingredients, or balance the chilli with yoghurt, cream or coconut milk where they suit the recipe. A little sweetness or acidity can round out the flavour, but will not remove the heat.
