Hey!
I’ve been trying to find some sauces to mix up my cans. I’ve been eating them on Nishiki rice recently and would love some new sauces to try! Looking for something that’s not too spicy, not too sweet. Asian and umami flavors are a huge plus, but not necessary.
Would love to hear what your go-to sauces are!
Thanks,
FF

Tracklements Dill Mustard Sauce is my go too of late, a little goes along way.
I like to take some Bachan’s and mix In Some soy to cut down on sweetness, then add some Sesame oil and chile garlic sauce.
My go to is and always will be sriracha
I always eat them before I remember to put sauce on them.
Marie Sharp’s. Also Curtido, which is definitely not a sauce, but…
I put not a sauce but a spice. Togarashi. I also like the spanish hot sauce whose name escapes me rn…
Tarragon vinegar and/or Crystal hot sauce is my go to.
Not really a sauce but you should try Kikkoman saku saku soy flakes. It’s my go to topping for sardines.
Soy sauce!
Sweet and Spicy Zhong from Fly by Jing!
Tabasco
Indian achar, especially carrot achar.
I usually go for reliable Franks red hot sauce
If you’re an inveterate salt addict like I am, oyster sauce in excellent.
Fresh mingonette, chili crisp, or dijon mustard, depending on the tin.
Asian dumpling sauce – can get it in hot or mild
Kimchi juice
Calamansi Lime Soy Sauce
Mushroom Soy Sauce
Not a sauce per say but I usually use soy sauce, chili crisp, and furikake when I eat deens on rice
Homemade super-hot sauce!
Lately I’ve been sautéing sardines to get them crisp – then adding fresh lemon juice, mirin, and ponzu.
Gochujang, sometimes mixed with a little coconut vinegar to make it more saucy.
Eel sauce
Coconut aminos
Gochujang mixed with rice vinegar
Trader Joe’s Soyaki
Trader Joe’s sweet chili
Dill mustard
Malt vinegar
Smoked paprika
Kimchi and capers (or their juice only)
Kewpie mixed with Gochujang
Yucateco green
Bachan’s Miso
I like mine with Zhoug. The Trader Joe’s brand is actually pretty good!
Ponzu
Oyster+Hoisin+Soy+Rice vinegar+chilicrisp=mastersauce
Tabasco chipotle sauce or chow chow if im feeling saucy. Otherwise it’s dijon or Colman’s mustard.
Asian XO sauce or furikake. Or both
I like to add in a little soy, sesame seed and gochujang mix.
Chili crisp
Sriracha!
I’ve been liking Huy Fong Garlic Chili + Ponzu. (90/10 pretty chunky)
I like fly by jing chile crisp and some bachan’s Japanese bbq sauce… over rice w some lemon pickled onion …
Trader Joe’s Yuzu Hot sauce. Tiny bottle but it’s quite delicious.
Momofuku chili oil
For pedestrian ‘deens that need a little kick I like green Tabasco.
I like straight up Tabasco, original flavor. But usually I just have them as they are out of the can, maybe with some pickled jalapenos or capers or onions.
Louisiana hot sauce.
Lime juice and soy sauce
Valentina Black label. Yellow is also good if you want less heat but black isn’t that hot. I highly prefer the flavor over Cholula or tapatio
