Hott Garlic & Miso Sauce

This is not a delicate little table sauce. This is a rich, savoury flavour bomb that marches straight across your tongue in heavy boots. The garlic comes in deep and earthy rather than sharp, while the red miso adds a salty umami richness that makes everything taste more substantial. Then the Scotch Bonnets and ginger begin building heat steadily in the background until suddenly your forehead starts glistening like a Victorian ghost story. Absolutely magnificent with ramen, grilled beef, mushrooms, dumplings or anything involving melted cheese. One of those sauces that makes you pause halfway through dinner and mutter “good lord” to yourself.
