What does Spicy Ebi Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Spicy

Spicy is a flavor that brings heat and fire to food by creating a burning sensation in the mouth or sinuses. Spicy flavors come from hot peppers, horseradish, and wasabi. Spicy adds a kick and sometimes complexity to a dish and releases endorphins, creating a mildly addictive quality.

Ingredients

ebi shrimp

Ebi shrimp, or black tiger shrimp is a variety of shrimp popular in some Asian cuisines. The shrimp are usually 9 to 11 inches in length and have black stripes or blue-grey stripes on their hard shells. The meat is softer than other varieties of shrimp and if farmed the flavor is bland, but wild harvested black tiger shrimp have a full flavor that is mildly sweet and ocean-like. The cooked meat is white and red and can be used in many seafood dishes.

mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is a cream colored condiment and thick sauce, or spread. Mayonnaise is made by slowly adding oil to a mixture of raw egg, vinegar and seasonings, until it thickens. This is done by continuously whisking. The flavor is mild, tangy and a bit salty with a comforting quality from the creamy texture. Mayonnaise is a multi-use ingredient for sauces, cold meat salads, sandwiches and more.

sriracha

Sriracha is an extremely popular hot sauce that complements many cuisines, particularly those of East Asia. The sauce is a vibrant red color and is easy to squeeze out of the bottle with its semi-thick viscosity. The smell is sweet and spicy and the flavor is similar with a hint of tanginess and garlic. Sriracha tastes very different from any other hot sauce.
