Sriracha

[Adeptus_Minor]

I too enjoy Cholula for eggs, but sriracha can go on sooooo many things and I've never considered it "too hot".

My sister has been having a love affair with Sriracha for years. Now I'm hooked.

I make ramen noodles with teriyaki sauce and top it off with sriracha, good shit

Got these at 99 Ranch Market today, but unfortunately they sucked. Not the same company I hope.

The sriracha pictured at the top is made by Huy Fong Foods, Inc and it's fantastic.

Sriracha is a generic term for a type of Thai hot sauce. I learned a while back that they are not created equal. Huy Fong makes the best that I have ever had.

I use it to dip my Chicken nuggets in now.

It takes a bit of time and planning. But, it's seriously delicious...

Ingredientsyield: Makes 1 1/2 cups, active time 15 minutes, total time 5-7 Days
1 1/2 lbs red jalalpeños, stems snipped off, leaving green tops intact
6 cloves garlic, peeled
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

Procedures
1
Place jalalpeños, garlic, sugar, and salt in bowl of a food processor fitting with steel blade. Pulse until chilies are very finely chopped, stopping to scrap sides of bowl as necessary. Transfer mixture to a clean jar, cover, and let sit at room temperature.

2
Check jar each day for fermentation, when little bubbles start forming at bottom of jar, about 3-5 days. Stir contents each day, continuing to let ferment until chilies are no longer rising in volume, an additional 2-3 days.

3
Transfer chilies to jar of a blender, add in white vinegar, and puree until completely smooth, 1-3 minutes. Transfer to a mesh strainer set atop of a medium saucepan. Strain mixture into saucepan, using a rubber spatula to push trough as much pulp as possible, only seeded and larger pieces of chilies should remain in strainer.

4
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce thickens and clings to a spoon, 5 or 10 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Well, unless you're scrubbing the peppers thoroughly before you blend them, they're going to have feral yeast on their skin just like grapes do.
