A trip to any Chinese grocery store would reveal a plethora of different options, each boasting different spice levels and flavor profiles, but this unique one from Lao Gan Ma has proven a consistent favorite of reviewers (not to mention members of our staff.) “Curse this stuff! It’s absolute crack. “You will not regret ordering this delicious perfect sauce,” she concludes.Ĭhile oils are the result of fermenting different types of peppers and spices in vegetable oil. But if you’re not convinced yet, take it from this one shopper who calls it “the best sauce on Earth.” She seemingly puts it on everything because she writes, “Life-changing on eggs, epic on macaroni and cheese, superlative on hamburgers, incredible on roasted veggies.” To her, “there is no end” to the possibilities of what to do with this sauce. “I just put it on a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s and it was amazing! So far, I have not found anything not improved by this sauce,” he explains. One customer who is “always trying new hot sauce experiments that come around” - he apparently survived something called the Choco Challenge, where you eat spicy white chocolate for whatever reason - says this will “appeal to a vast majority of people, even pepper heads,” because as he puts it, “The flavor immediately makes anything taste gourmet.” And he’s not kidding.
But you don’t have to have a hyper-sophisticated palate to enjoy this. “Do you like trying gourmet and unique hot sauces? Do you like the taste of truffles (or more specifically, truffle oil)? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then you need to stop and give this a try,” explains one passionate reviewer who goes on to give an in-depth review of the flavor profile. “About a tablespoon went into the sauce to coat two dozen wings and was spicy enough to clear sinuses, leave a tingle on the lips, and have you breathing in through your mouth to try and put out the flames coming off your tongue.” “If you have a masochistic streak, you can add it straight onto your food a la Hot Ones, but I used it to add spice to some buffalo wings instead,” writes one such reviewer. One to three drops on/in a dish is plenty, unless you’re just ultra adventurous, and enjoy having your mouth (and jaws, and face, and throat) on fire for an hour or more.” It’s so hot that plenty of reviewers suggest adding just a few drops to salsa and other sauces to kick up the heat rather than consuming it on its own. “I LOVE this sauce, but you should never sprinkle it on your dish with wild abandon. “Approach this with extra caution,” another reviewer says. “Hotter than hell itself,” one user writes, immediately explaining what dozens of reviewers say of this hot sauce: You really only need one drop.
