Chili pepper water

Chili pepper water is a condiment[1] that is very popular in Hawaii and in its most basic form is prepared from red chili peppers, salt, and water.

Chili pepper water is historically a homemade concoction used in household kitchens and restaurants. Traditionally the Hawaiian chili pepper (Hawaiian: nioi) is used, but others may be substituted.[2] One popular Hawaiian brand is Adoboloco. Various ingredients are sometimes added for additional flavor, including garlic, ginger, mirin, and rice wine vinegar. It is often used splashed on eggs, rice and other foods to add flavor and spicy heat. Many Hawaiians also just drink chili pepper water along with the meal.[3][4]
