Condiment Love....your fave's?

I have dozens of condiments but I’d say, day in and day out, it might be fish sauce. I’ve turned some mighty ho-hum things around with a tablespoon of two of fish sauce.

ETA: Salt. We’re having leftover Frugal Gourmet’s lamb and orzo pasta and I just added a four finger pinch of salt. Yep.

Sriracha is my default hot sauce. I find it’s not too spicy or vinagerey. Hoy Fongs chili garlic paste is excellent as a kick to s glaze. I use it on my homemade pok Pok wings. And fish sauce. When I’m sick and it’s ramen for food fish sauce makes it taste like something other than salt.

Salt is not a condiment.

Thanks to, @ipsedixit and others, Laoganma Chili Crisp;

For me, Huy Fong garlic chili sauce >> sriracha;

Hoisin (when mixed wth the aforementioned garlic chili sauce);

Baron West Indian Hot Sauce;

The magical mix of DTF’s black vinegar, chili oil, soy and ginger;

Mayo;

1,000 Island for burgers.

EDIT:

I need to add my old standby; La Victoria Salsa Brava. Great for leftover tri tip and chese burritos, eggs, and all sorts of other things.

Okay, according to the bible, you’re right.

But I still don’t agree.

LOL. I just think of it as anything that adds flavor. But when I count “dozens” of condiments it is mostly jars and bottles :slight_smile:

This was a coincidence. “Condiments” for some stir fry. Behind them are various oils and vinegars.

My method for choosing this brand - I went to Galleria market and asked an older Korean lady in the aisle which one I should buy. She picked this one for me.

Can someone suggest a bottled Asian sweet/sour sauce in the style of CfA Polynesian sauce?

I’ve never had that but would it be like this?

" Mae ploy - sweet chili sauce 10 fl. oz.for dipping is delicious with grilled chicken and deep fried foods. The taste is mildly spicy and sweet. It’s pinkish-red color and confetti-like specks of chili flakes make it a visually appealing condiment.
