This paprika doesn't really have a distinct flavor like smoked paprika and sweet paprika. After all, its main purpose is to add spiciness to your recipes.
In Chinese cuisine, dried sweet red pepper flakes are often used in Sichuan dishes to add color and flavor. They are also commonly used in spicy noodle dishes, hot pots, and marinades. The vibrant red color of the pepper flakes adds a visually appealing element to dishes, making them look more appetizing. However, the industry faces challenges too, including climate change affecting crop yields, fluctuations in market prices, and the need for constant innovation to meet evolving consumer preferences. Exporters are continually adapting, investing in research and development to breed new chili varieties and explore sustainable farming techniques.
However, unlike sriracha which is very dependent on chilis for its taste, the hot sauce with its many ingredients is very tangy. It’s because its other main ingredient is vinegar. If you taste hot sauce, you get a burst of heat together with the tangy vinegar. Vinegar serves two purposes: makes the hot sauces delicious with its flavorful play with the heat and it also helps preserve the chili, too. This is one reason why most commercially made hot sauces can be stored at room temperature.
