Questions about Sriracha hot chile sauce
What does Sriracha taste like, and how hot is it?
It tastes of chilli, garlic, vinegar and a little sweetness, with a medium, lingering heat. The heat varies between bottles, so start with a few drops and add more.
How much Sriracha should you add to a dish?
Start with a teaspoon for a dish serving two, taste, then add more if you want extra heat. A teaspoon is about 6 kcal; the sauce is also high in sodium, so go easy if the dish is already salty.
Can you cook Sriracha, or should you add it at the end?
Either works: stir it into soups, noodles or a marinade while cooking for a rounded flavour, or add it at the end for a sharper chilli kick. For a quick dipping sauce, mix it with mayonnaise or a little lime juice.
What goes well with Sriracha?
It is a natural match for eggs, fried rice, noodles, burgers and roast or grilled chicken. Try it in a dipping sauce with mayonnaise, or mix it with honey for a sweet-spicy glaze.
How should you store an opened bottle of Sriracha?
Wipe the nozzle clean, close the cap firmly and keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. Use a clean spoon or squeeze the sauce directly onto food to avoid contaminating it.
Can you use Sriracha instead of another hot sauce?
Yes, but it is thicker, garlicky and slightly sweet, so it will change the flavour as well as the heat. Use a little less at first when replacing a thin vinegar-based hot sauce.
Is Sriracha the same as chilli ketchup?
No. Sriracha is a chilli-and-garlic sauce with a tangy, fermented flavour; chilli ketchup is more tomato-forward and usually sweeter. Their energy contents are similar: Sriracha has 93 kcal per 100 g, while chilli ketchup has 101 kcal.
Why is Sriracha sometimes called rooster sauce?
The nickname comes from the rooster on the label of a well-known Sriracha brand. Sriracha itself is named after Si Racha, a coastal town in Thailand associated with the style of chilli sauce.
