If you dont already, I'd suggest setting up your grill for a two-zone heat and cook on the area without the coals. Then at the end give them a quick char.
My mother used to get it from China Town in Toronto in the early 80s. There was no english on the bottle. She put it in everything. "Eat your dinner", "Mom, I'm 7 and my face is melting". I never knew what it was until I seen Guy Fieri use some about 10-15 years ago. But AFAIK up until 10-15 years ago you couldnt get it in the supermarkets, at least not around here. I use it quite a bit too. Good in hamburgers. Theres also Green Sriracha too.

It's a California product, so it's been pretty normal around here as far back as I can remember.
As far as I know Huy Fong is the only legitimately recognized manufacturer.

Yes, in Los Angeles. David Tran came to California and started a business as a young manafter his family was kicked out of Vietnam after the war.
I looked it up and it said it was a product of Thailand, dont believe everything you read online. I knew it!! The only writing we could read on the bottle as kids was Viet Nam, thats why we used to call it Viet Nam sauce. I saw a show on TV few years back about him and the company, pretty interesting.

Other than tabasco, you can't really even buy hot sauce.

I'm living in Japan. They've never heard of Shiracha. They wouldn't know habenero sauce from red paint. Salsa is occasionally available, if you want to call it that. Spicy sauces? Good luck with that.
Welcome to a country with like zero immigration. To give you an idea, if you went into fifteen "Italian" restaurants here and tried to order linguini, you would have zero luck 15 times. Italian pasta=spaghetti only. No ravioli. No lazagna. No torellini. It's spaghetti or nothing. I haven't seen Greek food here, like ever. I'd commit several crimes to get a good souvlaki or dolmades.
I am happy living here, but, man the food blows.

Man, I'm sorry to read that. So you can't even find good Vietnamese food anywhere? Or Korean?

Oh, this is 100% true. Presentation is SOOO important here. I've had Japanese friends of mine turn up their noses at a roast beef dinner because it wasn't pretty enough. Granted, once they tried it, they were over the moon. But, their initial reaction was, "It's just all brown. No colors!" Presentation matters so much. Heck, that's why you get everything on those bajillion little plates instead of on one big plate like we do in Canada (usually).
Korean's pretty easy to find - well, sort of. Japanese version of Korean barbecue anyway. Surprisingly little actual Korean food - maybe some (really bad) kimchi in the supermarket. Things like I used to eat when I lived in Korea though are pretty hard to find. IN the bigger cities, you might get some vietnamese.

Oh man, you know you've made it big when someone creates an alt troll account with a username that mocks you! I feel so seen!
Yeah, I saw that earlier. Guess they got banned and deleted because I'm not seeing the posts anymore.
Cant you buy some online or is it too expensive to have it shipped in?Other than tabasco, you can't really even buy hot sauce.
