Simply put, it’s endorphins. We can’t actually taste spice as a flavour, but we do feel pain from it through receptors in our mouths – the ones that are normally responsible for sensing heat. The majority of spicy peppers, such as jalapenos and naga chillies, contain the chemical capsaicin which, when consumed, combines with these pain receptors to cause a reaction not unlike scalding your mouth with a hot drink. Scientists believe that, just like when the body is hurting on other occasions, this chilli pain causes endorphins to be released – the body’s natural pain-killing compounds. Gives a big flavour boost to any broth or warm tomato sauce,” says Lowe of Japan Centre’s white miso. “It’s also good in salad dressings, stirred into vinegar, perhaps with mustard and oil.”Made in Malaysia, Maggi® Authentic Malaysian Chilli Sauce brings you a delicious taste of Asian cuisine with this pleasantly hot yet slightly sweet hot sauce. Maggi® Chilli Sauce is made from fresh Malaysian chillies, giving you that perfectly blended hot and sweet flavour. Below, we’ve gathered together our favourite sauces for all occasions, in a range of spicy styles. There are sauces for everyday dips and others for specific meals; some are sweet sensations while others are deep, tangy delights. All the way from Thailand’s renowned sriracha sauce to culinary creations closer to home, we’ve tried to cover the whole gambit of worldly flavours, so scroll on down or stop by our guide if you’re a hot sauce newbie. Fermented hot sauces, as the name implies, are created by fermenting hot chillies and other ingredients in a container. Hot sauce ingredients get decomposed by healthy bacteria and enzymes – often by submerging the mixture in salt brine or by letting healthy bacteria break down other ingredients over time. This produces a more tangy, sour-tasting hot sauce and can help to bring out the flavours of other ingredients. They usually taste a little fresher too and have the added health benefit of containing probiotic bacteria (like yoghurt or kombucha), because of the fermentation process. This is thought to help the body break down food and better absorb nutrients.

Blended chillies, tomatoes, vinegar, spices, onion and ginger all come together in this tasty extra hot sauce to give it a tasty extra hot flavour. From there, testing hot sauces goes down just as you might expect: getting that spicy goodness into our mouths. We would taste each sauce individually before then trying it together with its intended use case. If no particular foodstuff was suggested, then we would opt for a meat or vegan meat substitute as the default tasting dish to avoid clouding and potentially mischaracterising a sauce’s flavour with the ingredients and spices of a regular meal. Authentic Malaysian Chilli Sauce is perfect to use as a dip, table sauce or to add some heat and flavour to your cooking. These “cooked mushrooms doused in fearsomely hot chilli oil and Sichuan pepper” will, promises Nicola Lando, the owner of Sous Chef, banish “food boredom”. Try souschef.co.uk for a jar.On the other side, unfermented hot sauces forgo fermentation and are usually cooked out instead. These are more common in supermarkets, as they are faster and easier to make, while often having higher Scoville levels since the chillies are not broken down. This Catalan “pesto” (a ground mix of toasted almonds, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt and freestyle herbs) is, says Shumana Palit, a co-owner of the Ultracomida delis in Wales, terrific for adding depth to sauces, soups and stews. “A spoonful makes everything come to life,” she says. Epicurious has a good recipe.
