stormdog: (Tawas dog)
[personal profile] stormdog
I kept seeing this stuff at the Asian grocery stores I went to with Lisa​ in Chicago, but never got around to trying any. I stopped in at the one near my place today for a bean bun (they were out, but I got a taro bun which is about as good), and got some of this too since I'm out of sriracha sauce.

It has a consistency like jelly or jam. I just ate a piece of pizza while spreading the paste thickly onto it, and I'm disappointed. It's as sweet as it is spicy, and in fact is a little calorie dense at 40 calories per teaspoon. I could (and did) put tablespoons of this stuff on something and not really get the heat I want.

That said, I think this will make for a pretty good spread to replace jelly in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! I'll have to try something else for heat though.

---Edited to add:

It's not bad on a turkey sandwich in place of mustard either. And after weighing a serving, it looks like the label is incorrect; it's 40 calories per tablespoon, which is more reasonable.
