Every day at like 1PM I get a couple of those mission low carb soft tacos out, put a modest amount of BBQ pulled pork on them. Throw it in the over on 250 degrees for 9 minutes, and take it out and then slather it in sriracha sauce. Put a bit of shredded romaine lettuce for crunch. loving YUM-BO baby. Even has a pretty good macronutrient balance and for my workouts in the evening, but it's the hot sauce that really brings it all together and wouldn't be the same without.

Sriracha rules, especially on pizza as well.

A nice spicy jalapeno cheeseburger is also top notch.

Supposedly there's a "jalapeno popper grilled cheese" somewhere in my town that I gotta hit up too.

OP try this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Chicken-noodle-Buldak-Variety/dp/B079WLKGF2
I like spicy stuff but I could only eat a couple bites of this ramen before I had to bin it.

The samyang (particularly the 2x) is what I was referencing in my earlier post about spice concentration. This stuff isn't "that hot" on the scoville scale but the rating is as is served in a bowl, so it's basically like you're just spooning down hotsauce, which turns out most people understandably can't handle even if it's a p mild sauce all things considered.

If you do find yourself faced with these in the future you'll notice the directions include boiling the noodles then stirfying them in the sauce packets, just keep in mind that dilution works for these too and you can absolutely just stirfry some veg and/or eggs with them and suddenly the heat seemingly disappears. Great way to stretch leftover roasted veg/protein when lazy, works well with fresh sliced stuff too.

I had that ramen when I lived in Korea - completely inedible imho.

It's not just that it's insanely spicy, but the fact that it's delivery method is noodles and you have so much slurping and breath and air going in and out over your mouth and lips when you eat them just makes it ridiculously painful.

When I quit smoking I had to quit spicy because my taste buds returned or something. Even Tapatio is too hot for me now and its a real shame.

Spicy food is literally just a tolerance thing, if you just eat it regularly your mouth will not feel any different smothering a given food in sri racha than if you had used the same amount of ketchup. This is also why people that brag about spice tolerance are dumb and insulting people's lack of spice tolerance is projection, the reality is to someone who doesn't eat spicy stuff regularly enough to build a tolerance squirting a drop or two of tabasco into a pile of hashbrowns is perhaps even more difficult to eat than someone like me mixing in a tablespoon of melinda's ghost pepper sauce into my toppings for a burg.

The benefit to keeping at it is most good spicy food uses the flavors of the peppers themselves to compliment the dish and the capsaicin is just along for the ride. Heat for the sake of heat is something that certainly exists but a lot of hot food was made with the other flavors in mind.

My wife and I are convinced you could make a lot of money stocking it in regular white folk super markets and we tried to make our own but it was hard. I like it better than sriracha and think it could be just as popular.

Actually I've seen a version of it at Albertson's with a fully English label that otherwise looks pretty much the same. I think they just need to get the word out.

Up til my late teens, cracked pepper was my limit. Wasabi broke through the barrier first, then a little bit of tobasco on scrambled eggs got me going further. I noticed after like a month (?) that I was putting on so much tobasco to get the right heat level that I may as well just been eating a bowl of vinegar.

Took it to the extreme, tapped out at this Blair's Ultra Death sauce that is just agony in a bottle. Now I just like habanero based sauces or fresh diced habs to add to whatever I'm cooking. The Blair's stuff still gets busted out on very rare occasions for pizza roulette nights where a blob of this sauce is hidden under one bit of pepperoni and everyone takes a turn eating a slice til someone gets blasted.

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

Hello, my name is Ninurta and I am a hot sauce/spicy food addict. I've tried to curtail my habit but Quarantine didn't really help matters.



This is my current stash, not counting the box of Scorned Woman that Amazon sent me when I complained about 2 of the bottles being broken. So I have about a dozen of those hiding in my closet, unopened as well as 2 in the cabinet.

There's also a packet of 2x spicy chicken, some Nongshim Kimchee bowls and a new packet of Shin Black on my fridge, waiting to kill me. I also have some Indomi Mi Goreng fried onion noodles that make a fantastic base for any dish and are relatively low in sodium content and are ready in 3 minutes. They come with 2 seasoning packets and a sachet of hot chili oil and a sweet soy sauce so you can season as desired. Add in some spring onions, beans, leftover rotisserie chicken and/or egg and some Siracha and it's fantastic.



Edit: My XBone is on the table because of some water damage thanks to last months Monsoon season. I had to move my entertainment center & TV so they can redo the ceiling this week.

I used to work with a guy from Korea that really bought into the idea that
A)White people can’t eat spicy food
And
B)Korean food is the hottest food in the world (it super, super is not)

So when he saw me with one of my superhots at lunch time he, despite my warnings, dumped a ton on his lunch because if I was eating it with no problem, and his food is SUPER SPICY, this’ll be cake.


He was not happy but still believed both A and B afterwards. Even though my hot sauce had him sweating and pacing for like twenty minutes.

That green El Yucateco near the bottom right is literally the tastiest sauce I've ever had in my life, I used to keep a bottle of it at work and stir it in with tins of mixed beans to make a fantastic lunch, mopped up with a tortilla.

Something that I think about from time to time: spiciness propagates through our digestive system all the way to our butthole, and we suffer for it in this way. But imagine if capsaicin was not only expelled through the anus, but the urethra as well. Ghost pepper piss. Nature, at least in this regard, was kind to us.

I can't be the only person who's woken up after a hard night of drinking and some really spicy food to have it burn pretty loving bad when I pee...right? I've also taken a poo poo so bad it blistered my rear end cheeks. I wish I was joking.

tbf honky spice tolerance is mostly found at the extremes, i.e. either "i need some milk to go with this steamed rice" or "i'm going to eat this scorpion pepper crossbred with lava without flinching". Maybe he'd never encountered the second type.

I've noticed this effect too that spicy ramen can be a dangerous affair because you end up INHALING a lot of the capsaicin along with the piping hot liquid just coating all of your mouth.

Lately I've been seeing these Chinese instant noodle appear they have a pretty unique flavor compared to the ones I was used to. I have a few favorites but they make a "vine chili" one that is seshjuan and it's very good and numbing. The packaging has some funny cartoon devils on them. Here's a link I found with one of them.

oh btw going back to this point about laoganma, it's not nearly as bad as it looks on the nutrition label

idk about yours but mine lists 380 calories per 60g, and you might think "holy poo poo! that's a lot!!" except that one spoonful of the stuff, which is all you really need for a bowl of food, is like 10g or less. 60ish calories for a condiment is nothing

I like to use abt. a teaspoon of this Spanish smoked paprika powder, it's really good for anything tomato based:



https://www.amazon.com/Dalia-Sweet-Smoked-Paprika-Spain/dp/B094Y9J3YF?th=1

My current batch has:

* That smoked paprika powder
* Half an onion
* 1 tomato
* A bagful of habaneros
* Half a lime's worth of juice
* A couple spoons of salt, a bit of sugar
* A dash of vinegar

Sauté everything in a kettle, add water and simmer to soften things up, then blend into even consistency.
