Sriracha sauce is a hot sauce that is believed to have originated from eastern Thailand. This spicy sauce made with thai red chilies is a great condiment that you can use to marinate meats or veggies or tofu. It can also be used to make other dips like pesto and mayonnaise. When i went to the library last Sunday, little did i expect to find a whole book dedicated to Sriracha sauce and that too, a vegetarian cookbook. I have read and come across a majority of sriracha sauce recipes on the internet, all of which, more or less call for fish sauce. So imagine my delight when i found the The Veggie Lovers’ Sriracha Cookbook.
The book opened up a whole new world to me. But hang on! I did mix up two versions of the sriracha sauce when i made mine. Actually, the ingredients called for in the book were all vegetarian but the method they prescribed was very lengthy. Or rather it meant i had to wait. And i was not ready to wait. So i made the sriracha sauce from the scratch following White On Rice Couple’ s method but used the ingredients that the book called for. Clever, right? Well, not really because a bottle of sriracha is the probably the most ubiquitous condiment you can find in a store. But then the kick of making sriracha sauce from the scratch probably made me go all the way. And to make matters a breeze, a bag of gorgeous thai red chilies were sitting in my fridge? Who can stop after that, eh?
Before i share my Sriracha Sauce recipe with you all, I would like to mention that i used a combination of chili peppers for this. I used 15 thai red chilies, 4 red jalapenos and 2 snacking red peppers. This is because i was really not sure if we could handle the heat in the sauce. If you want your sauce to be milder, then decrease the number of red chilies and increase the number of snacking peppers. Alternatively, you can also use more vinegar or sugar. The sauce keeps well in the fridge for up to a week. I recommend storing it in a clean airtight glass jar. A mason jar will also work well to store this delicious homemade sriracha sauce.
