I love my recipes spicy and hot!!! Spiracha does the trick! It also can be used in small doses for that extra special zing! It can be used for Chinese, Italian, sauces, gravies, marinades and so much more. You should give it a try you won't be disappointed. My kitchen would be naked without it! Thumbs up to Huy Fong Foods Inc. Irwindale CA for making my meals more tasty than ever before!
