A chili sauce worth crowing about October 30, 2008
Sriracha's a great early morning pick-me-up on the ol omlet. It's also great on pizza, stirfry, soups, panini sandwiches (spritz a little atop the cheese the next time you make one, and see for yourself), etc. Great for livening up roasted red pepper hummus, tomato sauces, mayonnaise, you name it. The uses are innumerable.
I'm a self-avowed chili-head, and I've tried more chili sauces than I can easily count. Everyone has their favorite styles and brands, and I'm no different, because this happens to be one of mine.
The thing I like about Sriracha is how the flavor and texture of freshly ground sun-ripened red chilies shine through cleanly ... there are no gritty/bitter seeds, no oxidized flavors from using reconstituted dried chilies, no caramelized/overcooked flavors, no competing heavy mismatched flavors/spices, no mouth pucking wretched excesses from being pickled in cider vinegar and salt, no fatiguing smoke flavors, no fruit juices, no excessive heat, no thermonuclear oil essence extracts, etc. Most of those things have their time, place and uses, and good examples of each abound ... but not here.
No. Sriracha is just plain, beautiful, de-seeded, unobstructed, sun-ripened fresh red chili flesh, with just barely enough garlic, salt, vinegar and sugar to round it out, plus a little gaur gum to thicken it slightly, and a little sorbate for extend it's freshness. That's it. It's pleasantly piquant, but not overly so.
Highly recommended.
p.s. A convenient fallback for me, whenever Sriracha is unavailable, is Franks RedHot Original.

Sriracha takes the cake (rice cake,maybe?) as the Best Hot Sauce Ever. Tabasco sauce is good for Southern/Southwestern cuisine, but Sriracha is versatile... and while it's based on Thai/Vietnamese hot sauces,it's made here in the USA(!)
Sriracha has a gradual burn. It starts out sweet, but it's also garlicky and of course,hot. Use it in moderation- or you'll find yourself on fire! I remember first having Sriracha on Ramen noodles. It's also good on eggs, and on Asian cuisine. I wouldn't put it on pizza, but people differ.
Sriracha wakes you up like the rooster on the bottle in the morning!

Love this stuff. I use it on eggs, rice, potstickers, potatoes, fried foods, pizza, chicken, basically anywhere you put ketchup and then some. It's been called the country's fastest growing condiment, coming straight outta Rosemead, CA. Note that the price shown currently on Amazon ($7.48) is nuts. I got my 17 oz. bottle in NYC Chinatown for $2.99.

INT. ALEX'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
A party. College kids drinking, eating pizza. Everyone talking, no one listening. ALEX takes a slice of pizza from the greasy box, puts it on a paper plate. Goes to kitchen. Pulls down HUY FONG SRIRACHA HOT CHILI SAUCE. Proceeds to drown the slice with stream after stream of thick red paste. ALEX takes a big bite. GIRL looks on, horrified.
GIRL: What are you doing?
ALEX: You've never heard of sriracha?
GIRL: No. That's just hot sauce.
ALEX: Hah! You ignorant fool. You can't have any.
GIRL: Um, okay. Not like I wanted to anyway. Freak.
GIRL walks away. ALEX continues devouring the slice, sweating from the chili spiciness, oblivious to how insane he looks.
ALEX (V.O.)
That girl doesn't know about sriracha. Good. More for me. More, more, more, for me.
CLOSE-UP on Alex. His eyes close in silent joy.
FADE TO BLACK.
