Spicy Sesame & Ginger Sauce

Same chef. Same recipe. With heat. Made By Cooks Spicy Sesame & Ginger Sauce takes the original sauce and adds clean, layered habanero spice for cooks who want their Asian-inspired sauce to bite back. Developed by Puerto Rican Executive Chef Rafael Ubior, this small-batch sauce delivers complex flavor and balanced heat in a single bottle.

How to Use

Reach for this when you want sesame-ginger flavor with a habanero edge. Use it as a marinade for wings, ribs, or grilled chicken — the heat builds slowly and finishes clean. Glaze onto salmon, tofu, or pork before roasting for a sweet-spicy crust. Whisk into noodle bowls or stir-fries for instant heat with depth. Mix with mayo or sour cream for a spicy dipping sauce that elevates dumplings, spring rolls, or grilled vegetables. Add a splash to ramen or pho broth to wake up takeout. Or just use it anywhere you would use the Original when you want more fuego.

Why You'll Love It

Habanero is one of the trickiest peppers to use right — too much and it overwhelms, too little and you wonder why it is there. Chef Ubior calibrated this sauce so the heat enhances the sesame-ginger base instead of dominating it. The result is layered, complex, and grown-up — not just hot for the sake of being hot. If you love heat that brings flavor with the burn, this is your bottle. Pairs perfectly with the Original sauce for cooks who want both heat levels on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hot is it?
Orange habanero, and it is a real heat — but it sits on the same sweet-savoury sesame base as the Original, so it arrives with flavour rather than on its own.

Is it gluten-free?
No. The sauce is built on a soy and teriyaki base that contains wheat, and the label declares sesame, soy and wheat.

Does it need refrigerating?
Only once it is opened. Shake it before each use — the sesame oil separates, which is what oil in a real sauce does.
