Homemade Sriracha Sauce
WARNING! This recipe is not for the faint of heart, or those with tepid palates.
1 pound of hot chili peppers (I used a combination of jalepenos, anchos, anaheim, santa fe, & asian)
1 pound of sweet peppers (I used jimmy nardello's)
4 tsp sunflower oil
16 cloves of chopped organic garlic
8 tablespoons organic sugar
16 tsp rice vinegar
4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 cups of boiling hot water
Chop up the peppers, carefully! No need to remove the seeds. After all, this is Sriracha Sauce!
Pro-tip: I would suggest wearing eye protection and gloves while chopping.
Throw all the ingredients into a cast iron pot (my preference - use what you have) and let it simmer until the peppers are soft. Set aside until cool and then put it into a food processor. Run it until you have a smooth looking Sriracha.
It works excellent as a dipping sauce, marinade, or flavor enhancer. I love making bbq'd chicken wings with this sauce. It's a winner with my family!
I definitely want to try this!
If you like hot stuff, this is for you!
I do! I've been away from our place in FL for the summer, but I'll be back soon. We have a habanera plant that gives us tons of peppers that I could use (but not too many, they are SOO hot!).
Wow, this is really hot! Don't think I will try it myself but great to have a recipe of the process. :)X
You never know when might need the recipe to make something hottttttt!
You are so right. Just promoted it on my last post. :)X
And have proper ventilation.
That bowl of peppers is making my mouth water and my stomach ache.
Proper ventilation is key! Thank you!
Love love love this! I'm a huge fan of siracha, and have been looking into getting an organic version. But making it myself sounds a whole lot better Thanks for the recipe :)
