How to Use Mango Hot Sauce — Pairings & Ideas

Sweet heat belongs on more than you think. The island's favourite pairings, from breakfast to the grill.

On the grill

Inihaw na isda, inihaw na baboy, grilled chicken — smoke and sweet heat are old friends. Brush mango hot sauce over anything on the grill in the last two minutes and the mango caramelises while the heat stays bright.

Seafood especially: shrimp, grilled fish, and kinilaw all take kindly to a few drops.

At breakfast

A fried egg with mango hot sauce is a complete breakfast opinion. Garlic rice, egg, and your favourite -silog stop being quiet once the bottle is on the table.

On the side of everything

Rice dishes, dumplings, tacos, lumpia, noodles — keep a small dipping bowl of it next to the plate. Cut it with a little calamansi if you want it brighter.

It also works inside cooking: a spoonful in a marinade or a glaze brings sweet heat without taking over.
