Hot Sauces from around the World
There are a lot of different types of hot sauce. The recipes are endless with the most prevalent ingredient being chili. They can be infused with vinegar, beer, oil, alcohol or fruits and vegetables of your choice. Sometimes mustards can be added to create barbecue sauce.
In North America, Mexico is the region that uses a lot of hot sauce. Chipotles, which are smoked and dried jalapenos, are very popular and some sauces have a vinegar content that is high. In the United States many recipes contain chili pepper, salt and vinegar. Chipotles, habanero, jalapeno or cayenne are normally used for the sauce. Some, like tabascos, aged and fermented. Others include vegetables and fruits such as chayote squash, carrots, mangoes or raspberries. These will cut the heat from the pepper and serve as thickening agents.
Louisiana hot sauce has red chili pepper, water and vinegar sometimes salt and thickeners. Chili pepper in water is used in Hawaii and is made from whole chilies, salt, garlic and water. The US type of Thai chili sauce is made from ground chilies, sale, garlic and vinegar. There are mild versions available on the market that contain bell pepper, tomatoes and spices but contain very little chili. They resemble cocktail sauces.
New Mexico chili differs as they use no vinegar in their recipes. Nearly every dish of the region includes green or red chili, it is added to breads, meats, eggs and vegetables. Some recipes are mostly chili with a little beans, beef or pork added. The green chili is made from fire roasted green chili that are locally grown, the skin is removed and they are chopped. Fried onions, roux and the chilies are combined and used as salsa. Red chili is made much the same way except red chilies are used.
The West Indies use hot pepper in much of their Caribbean-style cooking. Each island has developed their own specialty with mustard used in most recipes. Other nearby places that have their unique styles are Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, Belize and Panama.
China uses chili in a paste form that is used in stir frying or as dipping sauces. The Szechuan province uses chilies liberally, they are made with broad beans or soybean paste and contain a great deal of chili pepper. The Hunan province also cooks with a great deal of chili pepper.
Other Asian countries that use chili in their cooking are Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. In Vietnam their hot sauce is unique in that they make it from sun-ripened chilies, garlic, vinegar, salt and sugar. And in Thailand the chilies are often eaten raw. Japan and Singapore have their own unique recipes and use chili as a condiment to add flavor but it is not too hot or overpowering.
The burning sensation from chili is caused by capsaicin, it is a chemical reaction with the body's neurological system. The heat can be measured on the Scoville scale, a method of diluting something with water until the burn is gone. The most effective way to douse the heat is with dairy products like milk or yogurt. Rice is also a good neutralizer for hot sauce and it is often served with spicy hot foods.
In the Bollywood type movie Bride and Prejudice, Mrs Darcy comments on Indian 'deep hot choka', what is this?
This was in a scene detailing what Asian entities are now in the US, she says 'with yoga, spices..and deep hot ?choka, there is no reason to go to India..'
Deepak Chopra, the host of the Chopra Winfrey Show.

![]() Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia List Price: Sale Price: $29.70 You save: $15.30 (34%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionLuminous at dawn and dusk, the Mekong is a river road, a vibrant artery that defines a vast and fascinating region. Here, along the world's tenth largest river, which rises in Tibet and joins the sea in Vietnam, traditions mingle and exquisite food prevails. Award-winning authors Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid followed the river south, as it flows through the mountain gorges of southern China, to Burma and into Laos and Thailand. For a while the right bank of the river is in Thailand, but then it becomes solely Lao on its way to Cambodia. Only after three thousand miles does it finally enter Vietnam and then the South China Sea. It was during their travels that Alford and Duguid—who ate traditional foods in villages and small towns and learned techniques and ingredients from cooks and market vendors—came to realize that the local cuisines, like those of the Mediterranean, share a distinctive culinary approach: Each cuisine balances, with grace and style, the regional flavor quartet of hot, sour, salty, and sweet. This book, aptly titled, is the result of their journeys. Like Alford and Duguid's two previous works, Flatbreads and Flavors ("a certifiable publishing event" —Vogue) and Seductions of Rice ("simply stunning"—The New York Times), this book is a glorious combination of travel and taste, presenting enticing recipes in "an odyssey rich in travel anecdote" (National Geographic Traveler). The book's more than 175 recipes for spicy salsas, welcoming soups, grilled meat salads, and exotic desserts are accompanied by evocative stories about places and people. The recipes and stories are gorgeously illustrated throughout with more than 150 full-color food and travel photographs. In each chapter, from Salsas to Street Foods, Noodles to Desserts, dishes from different cuisines within the region appear side by side: A hearty Lao chicken soup is next to a Vietnamese ginger-chicken soup; a Thai vegetable stir-fry comes after spicy stir-fried potatoes from southwest China. The book invites a flexible approach to cooking and eating, for dishes from different places can be happily served and eaten together: Thai Grilled Chicken with Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce pairs beautifully with Vietnamese Green Papaya Salad and Lao sticky rice. North Americans have come to love Southeast Asian food for its bright, fresh flavors. But beyond the dishes themselves, one of the most attractive aspects of Southeast Asian food is the life that surrounds it. In Southeast Asia, people eat for joy. The palate is wildly eclectic, proudly unrestrained. In Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet, at last this great culinary region is celebrated with all the passion, color, and life that it deserves. The Mekong region, which extends south from China through Laos and Thailand to Cambodia and Vietnam, offers extraordinary food. Hot Sour Salty Sweet, which takes its name from the principal taste sensations of the region's cooking, provides an unparalleled culinary journey through this fertile land. Though the book contains a wealth of anecdotal material, its great strength lies in its 175 recipes, explicit formulas for the likes of Shrimp in Hot Lime Leaf Broth, Lao Yellow Rice and Duck, and Hui Beef Stew with Chick Peas and Anise. The breadth and substance of this authentic yet approachable collection is truly exciting; readers who cook from the book (not difficult to do once ingredients are assembled and techniques understood), as well as those searching for the best kind of armchair travel, will be delighted. Beginning with a discussion of the Mekong region, its people (a complicated mix, among them the Kai, Akha, and Cham), and their characteristic foods, the book then provides recipes organized by ingredients, dish types, and topics such as "Everyday Dependable," "One-Dish Meals," "Kids Like It," and "Vegetarian Options." This latter style of division helps define and "domesticate" a vast array of cooking, often enjoyed at times and places foreign to Westerners. Chapters devoted to such sweets as Tapioca and Corn Pudding with Coconut Cream, grilled specialties, and fare for adventurous cooks, such as Aromatic Steamed Fish Curry (more painstaking technically, though not truly difficult) further widen the book's scope. Illustrated throughout with 150 color photos and containing a comprehensive ingredient glossary, the book is a definitive point of entry to a mostly unexplored culinary port of call. --Arthur Boehm |

![]() Fire & Spice Sale Price: $17.95 Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 1 to 3 months See Reviews For This Product DescriptionSingapore Chili Crab, Szechuan Piquant Chicken, and Stir-Fried Hot Diced Pork -- these are just a few of the 200 chile-fueled recipes in Fire and Spice. Award-winning cookbook author Jacki Passmore has collected these recipes from years of travel throughout the Far East, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, central China, and India, in search of the best hot and spicy dishes. Following an introduction to Asian ingredients, spices and seasonings, chapters on seafood, poultry, beef, pork, rice and noodle dishes, chutneys, vegetarian dishes, and a few desserts for cooling down the heat will satisfy even the most seasoned palate. If you love the flavors of the far east and you've ever asked your waiter to make it "extra hot," then Fire & Spice is sure to satisfy. There's hot food, and then there's hotter still. Lovers of the latter should find Jackie Passmore's Fire & Spice a chile-fueled windfall. Passmore, an award-winning cookbook author, has traveled widely in Thailand, Malaysia, China, and India, tasting, cooking, and collecting recipes. More than 200 of these appear in this aptly titled book that celebrates Asian culinary exuberance. Following a chile guide and an ingredient glossary listing everything from aamchur (ground dried green mango), to wasabi (the pungent Japanese root), Passmore divides the recipes among chapters such as "Soups and Salads," "Greens and Grains," and "Main Flavors: Beef and Lamb." Recipes for savory dishes, which include Singapore Chili Crab, Szechwan Piquant Chicken, and Thai Pork and Long Beans in Hot Chili Sauce, are followed by those for sweets, some chile-spiked but nonetheless cooling. The heat quotient of most of the recipes is indicated, as is their preparation time, and all are accessible. Small essays, like "Balinese Beginnings," are scattered throughout the text; they recount Passmore's evolving love affair with hot, while providing a cook's-eye-view of the countries where the incendiary is home. --Arthur Boehm |
