Weeknight Hot Sauce | Quest for the Best Ep. 1

I'm a big sauce guy, but one thing I haven't experimented too much with is hot sauce, so I thought what better to do than start a quest for the best green hot sauce. All of the sauces will use the same ingredients, but each episode will change the way the pepper is prepared. First up is a basic hot sauce that can be made on a weeknight!

Oh, the virtues of patience... Can't wait for the rest of this series Ethan! I agree with you about the habaneros having more fruity flavor than a jalapeno. It is great to experiment with different peppers and note the flavors they bring. I just read " Peppers of the Americas : the remarkable capsicums that forever changed flavor" by Chef and food scholar Maricel Presilla, and she talks about almost every pepper and their flavors. You would like it, I am sure.

Red habaneros, sweet red peppers diluted in rice vinegar turned out really hot and sweet. The heat overshadowed the pepper flavor. So this little potent bottle will be used to spike dishes to give them a kick. Yes, it’s fun to experiment.

Awesome video. Brave for touching those Habaneros without gloves! Look forward to rest of series. Thanks!

I just harvested a whole basket of poblanos, Big Jim’s, and jalapeños. I know what I’m doing this weekend. Thank you.

I watched the whole series and this is definitely helpful ... Love the content!! 👍

if you will prepper the peppers without the seeds and the white flesh that is in the peppers the hot flavor will be mild compered to if you will prepper the peppers with the seeds and the white flesh

Thanks for the wonderful series Ethan, would definitely be making some hot sauce now. Just an idea, for the regular you could have started with just a raw pepper sauce like an Indian chutney. The most common green chutney found all over India is made of cilantro, raw green chilis (very close to Thai birds eye) lemon juice and a little bit of cumin powder.

Subbed now after watching your 6k videos which are of the awesome same quality as your 200k+ viewed videos. Lovely

It's impressive to cut them into 8ths, then into 4ths.

@ Ethan - Thanks for mentioning Louisiana Style is Thin & Vinegary.
What other styles are there? Thanks :)

[Tinkyrs]

Looks great!
Just for any watchers: if you don't check the salt and vinegar you need to use this rather quickly & store it cold. It might become a playground for botulism.

How long do you think this will last in a fridge? Thanks duder!

Tip to using the Xantham Gum: mix it into a slurry with a little bit of olive oil first, then add it. Totally avoids clumping and other issues.

How am I just seeing this video after years of watching you??

[hiteshshewakramani]

i can swing down to penn for the blind taste test :p

[PtHuber]

Made this and it honestly turned out a little bland to me. Not sure if it needs more vinegar ? Maybe sugar.
