Sriracha

Garlicky chili sauce with sweet heat for drizzling and dipping

Bright red and garlicky with a sweet, building heat, sriracha squeezes over noodles, eggs, and dumplings, and stirs into mayo for a quick spicy dip. Keep it at room temperature.

Sriracha is the garlicky, mildly sweet, medium-hot chili sauce that became a global pantry icon. Smooth and pourable, it's made from red jalapeño-type chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar, and salt — the famous American 'rooster sauce' by Huy Fong being thicker and sweeter than the original Thai sriracha from Si Racha. Its balance of heat, garlic, and tang makes it a do-everything condiment, equally at home on eggs, noodles, and pizza.

How to use

Squeeze it on as a finisher or stir it into sauces, marinades, and mayo. Its sweetness and garlic make it friendlier than vinegary hot sauces for glazes and dips.
