"It has become the go-to spot for creative home chefs who want to try a new recipe or find amazing alternatives to other bland grocery store offerings - and they have come to expect excellence from the brand's ingredient selection. This makes any misses particularly bittersweet, and when Tasting Table's taste tester tried 10 Trader Joe's sauces and ranked them worst to best, they found its Spicy Dynamite sauce to be the most so."
"Made from vegan mayo, pickled chili peppers, garlic, sesame oil, and horseradish mustard paste, Trader Joe's Spicy Dynamite sauce is meant to elevate boring dishes. The grocer recommends pairing it from anything from burgers and fries to roasted broccoli and scrambled eggs. However, our taste-tester wasn't impressed. They found that the sauce totally confused their taste buds, and while they acknowledged that the sauce was similar to sriracha mayo, it wasn't as good, making it an unworthy substitute."
Trader Joe's Spicy Dynamite sauce is made from vegan mayo, pickled chili peppers, garlic, sesame oil, and horseradish mustard paste. The product is marketed as a versatile topper for burgers, fries, roasted broccoli, and scrambled eggs. Taste testers reported that the sesame oil overpowered the other ingredients, producing a flavor profile better suited to Asian-inspired dishes than to a broad range of pairings. Testers also described the texture as strangely gelatinous, which hindered integration with foods. Many customers echoed the same concerns, calling the sauce confusing in both flavor and texture and preferring sriracha mayo instead.
