EASY HOMEMADE SRIRACHA SAUCE

Rooster Sauce! It's not your typical vinegar based cayenne sauce because it's thicker, sweeter and way more versatile. It's great on everything and it brings the perfect blend of thai chile heat, garlic, and a subtle sweetness that makes every drop of sweat worth it. Try it in soups, eggs, pizza, noodles, tacos, steak, chicken.... you get it. There are entire cookbooks dedicated to incorporating Sriracha sauce in to every recipe! The ingredients are simple enough and the process only takes a few minutes. The only special tools you need are a food processor and some clean hot sauce bottles or jars. I use a mini chopper that works well and I've used a blender which gets the job done too.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups chopped Thai peppers (I use 20 mature Kung Pao chiles, use whatever you have access to)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or palm sugar, if youâ ve got it, for a more authentic touch)
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white vinegar

Steps:

  • Rough chop the chiles (seeds in) and garlic and add all ingredients to food processor and chop away until you get a smooth sauce.
  • You can add filtered water to the mixture to get your desired consistency. Pour mixture right into jars and leave in fridge. It will get better every day until it's gone.
  • If you have a strainer and don't like texture to your sauce, feel free to get fancy and use it. The sauce will keep in your fridge for a month (but you'll finish it before then).

Time P3DT35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound red jalapeno peppers, stems cut off
½ pound red serrano peppers, stems cut off
4 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
⅓ cup water
½ cup distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes, and place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing several times to start.
  • Transfer puree into a large glass container such as a large jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
  • Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in strainer.
  • Place saucepan on a burner and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Skim foam if desired.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Choose ripe, flavorful peppers and garlic for the best flavor.
  • Wear gloves when handling peppers. The capsaicin in peppers can irritate your skin.
  • Toast the peppers before blending. This will help to deepen the flavor and give the sauce a smoky taste.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor. This will help to create a smooth, consistent sauce.
  • Taste the sauce before bottling. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Conclusion:

Sriracha is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is a delicious condiment for Asian-inspired meals, but it can also be used to add a kick to burgers, tacos, and pizza. Making your own sriracha sauce at home is a great way to control the heat level and the ingredients. With this easy recipe, you can enjoy delicious, homemade sriracha sauce in no time.
