A rich red color and ketchup-y texture, this sauce is spicy, peppery and perfectly briny—we put it on anything and everything. Its flavor is tomato forward, with a wonderful savory base of fish sauce and alliums like onions and garlic and subtle sweetness from maple syrup. Bright ginger, lime and white vinegar keep it balanced and the vegetal heal of jalapeño pepper. And this hot version of the stuff has a higher concentration of jalapeño, with a heat the blooms on the tongue. It’s like nothing we’ve tasted. It can take the place of a ketchup, hot sauce and barbecue sauce to be your go-to sandwich condiment.
