One of the most essential condiments in every kitchen, hot sauce is the magic ingredient that brings all the flavors of a dish to life. Made with varying combinations of salt, vinegar, and hot chili peppers, hot sauce can be sweet and tangy or have a hint of smokiness. A few drops or tablespoons are all you need to transform the flavor of savory foods. The combination of heat and acidity in hot sauce is what allows all the different flavors to become more pungent and complex with every bite.
