Got back home to some terrific hand pankoed mahi mahi and fried up by partner. With some shredded cabbage, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro slaw and a bit of sour cream based quick sauce made for some terrific #tacos
Shout out to salsa huichol too. Not something I use too often, but I always have some on hand - for Mexican type seafood it's a great #HotSauce First had it in Chicago decades ago at a short lived but rightly buzz creating seafood taco place (Tacos del Pacifico)
Of the 6 black beans & rice stuffed peppers last night for #dinner kids wanted the 2 leftover, so parents had to make do with quick spamkotsu #ramen (instant kind) but doctored broth and some leftover slaw from tacos a couple of nights ago👆🏽 - don't know if I'd do the spam again in this (other better uses), but the ajitama I made yesterday totally worked out. We all happy now. #Food
Reprise of the mahi mahi tacos - fillet cut into thick pieces, breaded and fried.
This time around with a quick margarita to go with it. (Been a while since we had one of those)
Good 1, 2 punch for a Monday!
@vdonnut I saw they had a ghost pepper one as well which they described as bardzo ostry. Maybe I should try that one. The third one is a Scorpion pepper sauce and I don't like those that much.
Me trying my pedestrian leftover #MexicanFood after adding some shredded artisan-ass Mango Habanero cheese I got for #Xmas and some #handmade Pineapple Habanero #hotsauce my friend made
So, since genuine Huy Fong brand sriracha chili sauce has been very hard to find on the East coast, we've been trying to find alternatives that actually have as close to the same flavor as that Rooster sauce.
Enter new challenger "Thai Authentic Sriracha Chili Sauce." Talk about a generic name.
We found it at #DollarTree and, for that price, figured we'd try it out. Turns out - it has almost an identical flavor to the Huy Fong brand sauce.
However, it is not as thick. Think more like a thin hot sauce such as Cholula or Tabasco as opposed to regular Huy Fong sriracha chili sauce, which is closer to ketchup in thickness. That said, this mixed into another sauce or cooked into something, works perfectly as an alternative.
Also, can't beat that price.
...We may have bought our local Dollar Tree out...
I also made the first batch of scotch bonnet fish pepper peach hot sauce. And the second, with carrots I forgot on the first one.
Super easy, just peach, onion, a million peppers and some brine. Sits and waits a month or so, then blend boil and eat.
@lydiaconwell This is true! My wife dragged me to a smoothie bar. Everything was too sweet for me, so I started to create a Macho Smoothie recipe. It was based on ancho & chimayo peppers, with tomatoes for sugar. Madame looked at me and said, “You’re describing salsa.”
