Vietnam’s Hidden Heat, Jarred in Canada
Rude Mama was born after a daring trip to Binh Ba—an island in central Vietnam—where I fell in love at first bite with a traditional chili that tasted like fireworks in a spoon. When I moved to Canada in 2017 without family, homesickness hit hard and nothing on the shelf tasted right.
Most sauces I found were either blow-torch hot or mouth-puckering vinegary—and they sparked heartburn, not joy. I wanted a hidden gem of Vietnam you could cook with every day: bright, balanced, and kind to your belly.
The recipe took me 2 year to perfect. Crafted locally in small batches with premium Canadian ingredients, Rude Mama delivers real flavor first—then a friendly kick. It’s the spicy sister, the tough-love mama at your table.
Pour it, cook with it, marinate it. From weeknight stir-fries to Sunday seafood, Rude Mama brings the taste of Vietnam to the meals and moments you share.
Why "Rude Mama"?
I grew up without a supportive family, so I borrowed strength from the “rude” women around me—teachers, bosses, best friends—women called spicy or difficult who quietly turned everything they touched to gold.
That spirit lives in every jar: bold, independent, and unapologetically good.
I'm Rude Mama's matchmaker. My hope is simple: build a table big enough for chosen family—my 'daughters', 'granddaughters', and yours—where flavor is fearless and love is served hot.
The petite jar of hot sauce is akin to a Vietnamese mama, seemingly sweet but capable of tearing you apart at any moment. However, you'll undoubtedly miss her, for she cares about your health and heart, not just your taste buds. And don't be shy, she has transformed you into a braver person than you were before encountering her.
Well, we reckon it's a win-win situation here.
We meticulously produce small batches of hot sauce by hand, employing a natural approach and utilizing only a select few simple, high-quality, vegan ingredients without any added flavors or MSG. They serve as the perfect accompaniment to any of your meat dishes, whether it's BBQ or deep-fried. The greasier and cheesier, the better!
