Homemade Sriracha
Ahhhhh Sriracha...the best freaking condiment on the planet. I seriously would put this stuff on practically anything. I especially love it in eggs, just a little squirt in your scrambled eggs to get your day going. I was always interested in making this stuff myself, but it has always proven to be difficult to get my hands on Fresno Chilis (red jalapenos) in Pennsylvania. But, to my luck, when I went to Wegmans the other day, lo and behold they had a big basket full of them. Naturally, I stocked up and was quite excited to try to make my beloved chili sauce. After perusing some of the recipes online, I finally settled on one, even though most of them were pretty consistent. Have to admit, it is even better than the store bought. The flavor is spot on classic sriracha, has a really nice heat and a really great consistency. It is a little more runny than store bought sriracha, but not to the point where it was a problem. I would be curious about adding some ultra-tex 3 to give it a little more body. I'm also curious to maybe try it with jalapenos since those are a billion times easier to obtain...a green sriracha?? Maybe next time, right now I'm just going to enjoy this bottle.
Other delicious sauces...
