Sriracha

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I put Sriracha in pancake batter and make spicy pancakes/crepes. Best with lime marinated grilled chicken as "soft tacos" or roll-ups.

This was my very first experiment, super tasty, later adding grilled chicken made the whole concept streetfood sublime.

The Peppers that are used for Sriracha are produced by Underwood Family Farms here in Ventura County. I have a commemorative bottle of it!

[WPOZZZ]

Try Vietnamese shrimp bread with a splash of Sriracha. Heavenly!

^^^^Ooooo that looks fantastic.

For a unique taste experience try Siriacha Brussels sprouts. Yum.

Yeah, it's the newest smash hit phenomenon. There's just about nothing that you can't find in a "sriracha" flavor. The little guy that started it must be rollin.

I thought it was interesting that a while back a Cali town or two tried to shut the guys factories down because they didn't like the smell.

He didn't grease the right wheels so the big boys in the city tried to shut him down and he said, fook it, lets move to another state. Someone back pedal really quickly. I think the factory has been there for over 20 years and not one complain then suddenly, it smells? One of the interior designer told me about that story because she did the design work on the owner's kid's house.

This dude started making this hot stuff in his house, then his garage and now it grew into a monster. I can't eat Asian soup noodles without it now that I started to use it. My Mexican workmen carry it in the glove boxes of their trucks.

Some hot cock sauce on some leftover noodles from this weekend!

I thought it was el Segundo, as in "my girlfriend asked me to kiss her where it stinks so I drove her to El Segundo".
But I checked and you had it right. ole-timer's is kicking in.

Sriracha taiwan hot sauce.
Not terribly hot but hot enough, no vinegar taste like that crap they call tabasco, just good chili and garlic.
I put it on just about everything except ice cream and go through a 17 oz. bottle every 4 or 5 weeks.

I really like it because it actually has a flavor other than vinegar. It is almost tomatoey, but not sweet. I got hooked on it at a local terriyaki bowl place that served it.
It's on my eggs in the morning, sandwiches during the day, and dinner at night. I even keep a bottle in the fridge at work.
I like it in my bbq marinade and put it in hamburger meat, most of the hotness cooks out but the good flavor stays. Kicks up burgers and meatloafs
Works good on pork ribs too.

I've been a connessour of Vietnamese food for 16 years. This is the hot sauce that Vietnamese restaurants all have on the tables for the pho or the rice noodle dishes.

When the sriracha craze started, I had never heard of it... Then I saw the bottle.

Chicken ramen, sriracha, frozen shrimp, basil, peanut butter, brown sugar, few drops of fish sos.
(fresh)Throw in some spinach leafs or bok choi, and soft-tofu small cubed.

=Poor man's Pad Thai.

Thai food is really delicious. They have chili oil too, which is really great. Some Mandarin sauces are really great, but hard to find.

Vietnamese food is hit and miss for me. I love lemongrass chicken, but could not down those half hatched eggs. That little chicken looking at me with one eye...no can do.

Balut is from the PI, not Vietnam

[rusnak]

^ Yes, I know. That is another name for the same thing. I needed a pic so people can see what is meant by "half hatched".

Sriracha's not very hot at all--just a bit of "tang" to whatever you put it on. I rarely use it because it's too tame for me. But yeah, WD...it's been out a LOOOONNG time (like, almost 40 years). Shocked you're just now seeing it.

I told Thuy about this thread and she just laughed... Always been a staple in her house!

Huy Fong's Sriracha sauce (/ʃriːˈrɑːtʃɑː/;[2] Vietnamese: Tương Ớt Sriracha) is based on David Tran's recipe for the Sriracha chili sauce, a dipping sauce which originated from Thailand.

This sauce is produced by Huy Fong Foods, a California manufacturer. Created in 1980 by Vietnamese-American founder David Tran, it is a brand of Sriracha sauce often also known as "rooster sauce", because of the rooster prominently featured on its label.

It is from both the Pl and nam but it is eaten differently in both countries. Filipinos eat the balut egg plainly but the viet people eat it with a spoon, salt/pepper and some kind of herb.

I thought it was red hot too, that's why it sat in my fridge for over a year before I tried it. It's not as hot as Tobasco, a bit thicker, and a little sweeter. But maybe that's because my bottle of it is over a year old.
