For those who may be looking out for Mama's Fire, it is soon to be back on the shelves! You can find it in Portland at Food Front, in Eugene at Kiva, Capella, Red Barn, in Corvallis at First Alternative, in Ashland at the Ashland Coop and over in Astoria in the Coop there. It is also for sale at ziji and the other fine establishments posted on the web page. I am not calling the new sauce traditional any more because the cannery had to emulsify the ingredients (no more paste and oil), The taste is there and it is much easier to work with now. Just add a spoonful and you have your flavor. The BBQ is kick ass and now done as well and will soon be offered at all the stores mentioned above. - Jesse , posted 09/04/09 |

I love this stuff. It's got an unusual flavor that I haven't tasted elsewhere and once you get hooked, well, then you're hooked on it. - Jake , posted 02/24/08 |

This sauce is genuinely unique when compared to other hot sauces. I use it all the time. I'm rather addicted to it. I keep bottles of it both at home and at work. Try it on pizza. It's great! - Chuck , posted 03/07/07 |

This stuff is RAD! I make a tofu and onion or seitan and soy cheese scramble with it and eat it on fry bread or tortillas and its delish - rapscallion , posted 10/23/06 |
 My friend TJ cooks with this stuff all the time now. I think shes an addict cuz she put it in her mashed potatos last week. I mean I like it and all but seriously TJ mashed potatos? Its really awesome on chicken though and good in meatloaf and stir fryed vegetables (my fav). - sarah , posted 10/16/06 |

A friend recently presented me with a jar of Mama's Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce. My first thought when he handed me the jar of crimson oil was "this is not hot sauce" and I was right. This is a cooking or seasoning oil and it is freaking fantastic. The heat is somewhere between mild and medium, but the heat is by no means the whole story. The sauce has a uniquely complex flavor. Over the years I have managed to replicate almost any recipe or sauce simply by tasting it. Mama's Fire is a completely different story. There is a hint of ginger, that much I have correct, but the rest is a mystery. The flavor is the slightest bit smoky, asian, and nothing like the chinese hot pepper oil that it visually resembles. Anyway, I've used it in dozens of recipes over the past couple of months and I'm now finding it almost indespensible. Then there is the whole humanitarian aspect. The sauce, manufactured and bottled in Salem, is actually a means of making money for "sacred works" projects. Some of the current projects the sauce is supporting are preservation of Valmont Butte,(a holy place for the indigenous people of Colorado) and the publishing of a book about Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. So you can feel good about your investment in tasty chow and in worthy causes. - Dave of the Dead , posted 09/25/06 |
