Notes
- I recommend using Frank's RedHot for this recipe. Other options are Cholula Hot Sauce, Tapatio and Texas Pete.
- Refrigerate the sauce in the airtight container or jar for up to 1 month. Beware, that the sauce can stain plastic containers, so I would recommend using glass jars like Weck's jars for storage.
- You can freeze it for up to 3 months, possibly longer. One thing to mention is that after thawing it overnight in the fridge, you might need to reheat the sauce and stir it if it got separated.
- Serve the sauce with vegan buffalo wings, vegan mac and cheese, vegan tacos, vegan zucchini corn fritters, potato pancakes, buffalo chickpea pizza or wraps. You can add it to vegan ricotta for an extra spicy kick, as well as to vegan queso, hummus, other vegan dips and salad dressings. Use it for French fries or potato wedges, with chips or crackers, add it to sandwiches, sliders or even popcorn.
