Do you like Sriracha (asian spicy sauce)?

[JEDI]

meh in this:

 

[nakedfrog]

It's pretty good.

Find a Lean Cuisine that exceeds "meh" and I'll call you a filthy liar.

Sriracha is tasty (such as in blue cheese hummus). But it doesn't work everywhere that spice is needed. Sometimes you also need the vinegar (such as on nachos).

 

[Carson Dyle]

It's the sugar and the garlic that make it addictive.

 

[lxskllr]

Not a fan tbh. If that's all that's available, I'll probably use it(depending on what I'm eating), but there's plenty of other sauces I like better. I've bought two bottles in my life, and I don't expect I'll ever buy another.

 

[sdifox]

It's American :awe:

 

[zinfamous]

it's OK, but probably my least favorite hot/chilli sauce.

It is great on rice, though. I mean, you can just eat plain rice with that stuff and convince yourself that you actually ate something.

I like it with pho and also with scrambled eggs. But that's about all I use it for. For everything else, I prefer gochujang based sauce like this. http://store.momofuku.com/products/ssamsauce

I'm Vietnamese who grew up here. Ate that before it became hipster.

 

[Ns1]

Hated it as a kid, I like it on some items now.

 

[ponyo]

Learn to cook and quit eating shit like Lean Cuisine.

 

[Crono]

Yes, it goes well with rice dishes in particular.

It is, however, massively overrated, popping up as a "thing" for the past few years. Like bacon, not everything needs to be sriracha flavor.

 

[Chaotic42]

It's pretty good and it has its place. It's way too overrated at this point and it's getting diluted (no pun intended) in the market.

 

[KMFJD]

Vietnamese/American ketchup?

 

[Murloc]

I find it in plenty of online recipes to make asian food, but it doesn't exist here. I guess I'm gonna substitute with hot pepper and fresh garlic...

I have bought probably more than 3 dozen ~1 liter bottles of Shark Brand Sriracha (bought in Chinatown, Oakland). I have a few bottles on hand now. I used to put some of this every night on my burritos. I stopped putting it on my burritos maybe year ago and stopped making burritos period around a month ago. Happy new year!

Yeah, I like the stuff. Shark Brand (Thailand) is simple, no additives, IIRC just this:

chili
vinegar
salt
garlic
sugar

 

[louis redfoot]

it's pretty good, standard hot sauce. crushed red peppers hit the same way. i like ngoc mam (fish oil/sauce) more.

It would be very good on scrambled eggs, yes. Had enough of both to know, but have never done this, but yes.

 

[Imp]

It's ok. Good for factory made, convenient spicy flavor. Can't beat quality Indian spices though. Effing good stuff.

 

[Anubis]

its good

Wuju is better

 

[Kaido]

Sriracha is about as spicy as I can handle these days. Melted my stomach lining with too much hot stuff growing up, methinks

Mike's Hot Honey is also really good, and is surprisingly good on pizza:

I like sriracha (Huy Fong) for some things...but find it generally too sweet.

i knew of one of the kids whose parents started the business. they're a vietnamese american family from an l.a. suburb, started mixing that stuff out of their garage, selling to local restaurants. dude had a mercedes sl in high school. it's the staple for spicy tuna rolls, what a success story.

I prefer tobacco i know both are totally different things but I find sriracha fakerre fake artificial taste. You can actually taste the chilli in tobasbaso

Tabasco is awesome. It's more versatile and nuanced than Sriracha. I especially like it on pizza. The process on how it's made is on YouTube and is worth watching.
