The fusion of Mexican chiles with the Middle East and Asian ingredients makes a delicious sauce. Some people keep away from trying new sauces, and they just don’t want to experience other foods.

I personally like to eat dishes that are prepared with exotic ingredients, cultured fusion, and healthy. The pico-kikko sauce was invented in my kitchen, I was looking to eat rice noodles, but the traditional peanut sauce was not in my kitchen cabinet so I used the ingredients I had available.

This sauce is the result of experimenting with new sauces. The pico-kikko sauce goes well with sandwiches all you need is to add some mayonnaise to it, the sauce will enhance the flavor sandwich. Also, you can use the sauce to marinate fish, chicken, or shrimp. Enjoy it.
