Cooking Notes
Lauren
Is there anything vegetarian that would be a good substitute for the fish sauce?
Kyong
I've used 1/3 cup sugar, and normal red peppers. it turned out very tasty!
Dana
This makes quite a bit, but luckily it is very tasty. Adds some crunch and zing to everything, tofu bowls, sandwiches, eggs, the list is endless. For a 2-person household I would recommend halving it.
Bernie
Type Scotch Bonnet seeds into a search engine. They're available.
Jane
Where can I buy Scotch Bonnet seeds in the US? Anyone? Habaneros are almost, but not quite as good as SBs.
sloparker
These were too sweet.
DMR
Krill are about 5000 times larger than yeast and (more importantly) have a significantly more complex physiology which includes a nervous system. This may be a concern to some vegetarians. There are vegan versions of fish sauce available in specialty shops and online that, in my experience, are surprisingly good.
Sharon B
Truly an eye- watering, breath stopping amount of vinegar.
Benanny
Delicious. I made with a habanero and a large jalapeno because I did not find a serrano. I subbed Swerve Brown Sugar for the brown sugar as I am pre-diabetic. Delicious. I will make it again, and again and again.
Jex
Very tasty! I was out of cider vinegar, so I used Chinese black vinegar. It's perfect.
SMM
Doubled the recipe and cut down the sugar by half (personal preference). Didn't have the requisite hot peppers listed above so added a small bunch of yellow biquinho chile peppers from the garden and dried hot pepper from the pantry. HUGE hit.
Laura O
Great flavor. Instead of the recommended peppers I used homemade pickled jalapeños (aka cowboy candy) and eliminated other sugar. A great way to use a too big bag of carrots
Chris
I speed this up by heating the vinegars and sugar in the microwave for 2 minutes and then pouring that over the carrots and other ingredients. This is truly delicious and so versatile!
meg
Really delicious. I decided to cut the peppers into chunks so you don’t have to eat them unless you want to. Goes with everything!
STM
Stunningly delicious. I had to use marinated jalapenos because we did not have the other peppers but they worked great! I cannot stop eating it.
Oh Hello
Has anyone made this recipe and then canned the carrots? Thank you.
Jacquie
Didn’t have any fish sauce on hand so I used a teaspoon of white miso. They were delicious.

I added some freshly grated ginger to these and they turned out perfect.
Una Johnston
Carrots were too raw. So started again and blanched them first

Some fish sauces are made with krill. Technically still an animal, but if you drink beer or wine it’s basically on the same magnitude as saying yeast is an animal.
