Questions about Sriracha hot chili sauce
What is Sriracha made from?
It is a thick chilli sauce typically made with red chillies, garlic, vinegar, sugar and salt. Some versions use fermented chilli mash, which gives them a deeper, tangier flavour.
Does Sriracha need to be refrigerated after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in the fridge after opening to help preserve its flavour and colour. Use a clean spoon or squeeze the sauce straight onto food rather than dipping used cutlery into the bottle.
Can you cook with Sriracha, or should you add it at the end?
You can cook with it: stir it into soups, marinades or stir-fries, or brush it onto food before baking. For the freshest chilli and garlic flavour, mix it in near the end; prolonged high heat can dull the flavour.
What goes well with Sriracha?
Use a little in noodle soups such as pho, fried rice, eggs, dumplings or mayonnaise for sandwiches and chips. It also works in a dipping sauce with lime juice and a touch of sugar.
What can you use instead of Sriracha?
Sambal oelek gives a similar chilli heat but is usually less sweet and less garlicky; add a little vinegar and sugar to bring it closer. For a thinner, sharper sauce, use Tabasco sparingly.
How does Sriracha compare with Tabasco sauce?
Sriracha is thicker, sweeter and garlickier, while Tabasco is thinner and more vinegary. Per 100 g, Sriracha has 93 kcal and 2,124 mg sodium; Tabasco has 12 kcal and 633 mg sodium.
Why is the sauce called Sriracha?
The name comes from Si Racha, a coastal town in Thailand. The sauce style became known internationally through several versions, so recipes and levels of sweetness or heat can differ.
