Spicy Dynamite Sauce

It feels like we’ve all had that experience where we’re at a restaurant, enjoying a burger, or a rice bowl, or some manner of crispy appetizer, when we suddenly realize that the dish itself is rather ho-hum, and it’s the sauce it’s served with that we really like. Well, Trader Joe’s Spicy Dynamite Sauce is that sauce. Not literally, of course, but it is our version of those savory, sweet, and spicy catch-all condiments you encounter out in the world that make you think “why don’t they just bottle and sell this?” We did, dear reader. We did.

Made with a base of vegan mayo, the ingredients to our Spicy Dynamite Sauce read like a list of greatest gastronomic hits: Pickled chili peppers! Sesame oil! Garlic! Horseradish-mustard paste! It all adds up to one superlatively full-flavored profile, with notes of heat, sweet, and umami, and a captivatingly creamy texture. We like it on and with everything , and we mean everything: French fries, chicken nuggets, poke bowls, grilled salmon, roasted broccoli, baked potatoes, burgers, sandwiches, fish tacos, scrambled eggs—seriously, you name it, and this Sauce will work like Dynamite.
