Eating spicy food is kind of like playing with fire but in a safe, fun, and delicious (vegan!) way, which we can totally get behind. Which is why we’ve rounded up 29 hottest plant-based recipes ranging from milder Hungarian Goulash and German Currywurst to Korean Kimchi Chigae and Sichuan favorite Mapo Tofu, as well as a few hot sauces you can make at home.

Can a dish be spicy and refreshing at the same time? If it’s bibim guksu, it sure can! It’s a traditional Korean dish especially popular in the summer. Imagine perfectly cooked cold thin wheat noodles (somyeon) covered in a slightly tangy, sweet, and savory sauce made with kimchi, fermented red chili paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, scallion, and syrup. It may not be summer yet but International Hot and Spicy Food Day is a great excuse to enjoy a refreshing bowl of Korean Spicy Mixed Noodles) by The Foodie Takes Flight!

Birria is a popular Mexican celebration dish made for weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms, and family Sunday meals. This veganized version by Dora’s Table replaces meat with a mixture of shredded oyster mushrooms and jackfruit. Everything is simmered in a sauce of dried chiles, spices, and roasted tomatoes, to be served one of three ways: as a side, or inside of tacos or quesadillas.

Bobotie is a famous South African dish resembling a casserole. It’s one of the milder dishes on today’s list but incorporates a variety of flavors that add complexity, and all of them come from plant-based sources like spices and fresh and dried fruit. Real Plant Food replaced the ground beef filling with a spiced lentil and walnut mix, and veganized the topping by making it out of a fluffy chickpea flour batter flavored with turmeric instead of eggs. It’s served with turmeric rice, tomato and onion sambal, toasted desiccated coconut, fresh sliced banana, and chutney
