Spicy is a whole group of aromatic and spicy sauces that are popular not only in Japanese cooking. Initially, they were served and used exclusively for national dishes. Today, spice is popular all over the world. The spicy additive goes perfectly with rolls, meat, fish, poultry and seafood. It's hard to find a dish that it doesn't go well with.
Spicy pastes and other additives. Many spicy recipes use chili pastes, kimchi sauce and other similar ingredients. They can be purchased in specialty stores or supermarket departments. There you can also buy flying fish caviar, Worcestershire sauce, Japanese mayonnaise “Kyupie”, but I often replace it with our usual mayonnaise based on eggs and butter, which can also be done.
Soy sauce. A frequent guest of spicy sauces. If the recipe does not call for it, but water is used, then you can add and even replace it. But do not forget about the pronounced taste and saltiness of the product; you should be careful with spices.
Chilli. Of course, it’s best to use natural pods, chop them, and cook them yourself, but it’s faster and easier if you use pastes or replace them with dry ground pepper.
Vegetables. They are rarely added to sauces. Usually this is garlic, onion, there are recipes with the addition of tomato. Vegetables are sautéed, chopped, and combined with the total mass according to the recipe.
Vinegar. Lime or lemon juice is also added. These ingredients provide an original taste and also serve as additional preservatives that extend shelf life. This is especially important when adding fresh caviar to the sauce.

Spicy sauce- a traditional Japanese sauce loved by Europeans. Classically, it is used as a dressing for vegetable salads, but the most common use is sushi. The sauce gives the dishes it is served with a particularly piquant, spicy taste and a unique aroma.
When preparing sushi, spicy sauce is added immediately before baking, then they acquire a more delicate taste and a beautiful golden blush. Although spice is used not only in hot types of sushi, it is also indispensable in cold-cooked recipes - the dish gets an unsurpassed rich taste.
According to many, classic dishes should have one recipe, which invariably includes certain products in strictly specified quantities.

With a delicate and fine texture, Japanese mayonnaise has a light and unobtrusive taste, while in terms of fat content it can only be compared with natural mayonnaise prepared with olive oil.
Kyupi mayonnaise or our equivalent equivalent in the amount of 1 tbsp. Place in a gravy boat or small cup.
Add:
literally a few drops of soy sauce, chopped garlic (1 clove), the amount of chili pepper is determined by the taste preferences of those who will eat; half a teaspoon of flying fish caviar (in addition to its delicate aroma and taste, it gives the dish a beautiful color).
