Every man wants spicy and hot food although very few in the world have the right ingredients to make it tasty and scrumptious. Here is a short list of what I think are the best spicy foods all over the world.
10.Tom Yum from Thailand
The great thing about Tom Yum is that it’s not only spicy but it’ also sour which makes the contrasting tastes wonderfully complement each other. The dish either features chicken or pork while it gets its spicy and hot taste from the renowned Thai Bird’s Eye chili. If you think you’ve had enough of Thailand think again because this dish will make you get off your seat.
9.Shrimp Creole from US
This dish is flavored by red and green peppers, tomatoes, shrimp and chicken. Basically, the Shrimp Creole dish is a staple if you want to burn your heels on the table.
8. Papa a la Huancaina from Peru
Peru is more than being Inca and the Machu Pichu since the famous Papa a la Huancaina. This dish is a salad that has boiled yellow potatoes in them. What makes this food sizzling hot is its Huancaina sauce that is usually served with lettuce, black olives, white corn kernels and hard-boiled egg quarters. The tasty and hot sauce is made by combining ingredients such as fresh cheese, evaporated milk, salt and the renowned Amarillo chili pepper.
7. Lo Bok with Sichuan Peppercorns from China
China is renowned for its exquisite cuisine which spans several millennia already. The great thing about this dish is that it uses sweetness and spiciness to make it such a scrumptious and tasty treat. Basically, this dish has a numbing taste that is short of making your forget your real name once you eat it.
6.Bibimbap with Kimchi from South Korea
Needless to say, kimchi is always synonymous to Korea but then again there is always a way to spice up traditional cuisines out there. This dish is composed of pickled cabbage, garlic, chili, onion and ginger. Kimchi has to be prepared by putting it inside a pot while leaving it fermenting for several months. That’s an ancient way of preserving foods prior to the invention of refrigerators. If you can handle a slightly unpleasant smell and ultra-hot taste then you should go for this one.
5.Suicide Chicken Wings from the US
I personally love chicken wings although the Suicide chicken wings dish is certainly something out of the ordinary. It has a mouth-watering combination of Tabasco sauce, hot pepper flakes and chopped chili. If you’re really a gastronomic adventurer, this one can make you re-think about spicy foods.
4.Jerk Chicken from the Caribbean
The Caribbean is a melting pot of all sorts of spices available that’s why I wasn’t surprised when they came up with the Jerk Chicken dish. When it comes to the ingredients, the aforementioned has the Jamaican allspice, cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme and garlic. In a nutshell it’s a grilled dish that tastes even better with beer.
3.Wot from Ethiopia
The only entry from Africa, the Wot is an Ethiopian delicacy that is basically a stew loaded with onions and garlic. It is cooked by putting hot spices in it while the chicken is left for hours in order for that rear-kicking taste to fully develop.
2.Vindaloo from India
When you talk about Indian cuisine the first thing that will get inside your head would be curried foods. The great thing about curried dishes is that they’re not only hot but they are also flavorful. The Vindaloo is hot because of its spiced up because it’s marinated in loads of spices before being tenderized by vinegar.
1.Sambal Oelek from Indonesia
The hottest food in the list here comes not surprisingly from Indonesia. The tastiest and hottest version has habanero peppers, cayenne pepper, Madame Jeanette peppers, Bird’s Eye Chilis, Spanish peppers, and the near-lethal naga jolokia.
