The story behind this recipe
When I first discovered Sriracha sauce, I used to go to that restaurant just for it. The burger and everything else were just excuses for another dose of real heat. I went through a phase where I overdid it, but I’ve calmed down since. However, not enough to stop adding it to my meals.
Today I will tell you how I made Sriracha sauce at home.
You'll need a little patience (about 3 days), but it is WORTH IT. It tastes veeeery close to the well-known sauce.
You need:
red chili peppers - about 2 good handfuls
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup water
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Chop the peppers as shown in the picture, and puree them with the salt, sugar, garlic, and water.
Place the composition in a covered jar and leave it in a room at 18-19 degrees for 3 days. Every day, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon.
After the 3 days, add the vinegar and put it in the blender again, until it homogenizes and our sauce becomes smooth.
Strain everything, and I stored the pulp in a jar in the fridge. We can use it as a condiment in dishes.
Let the resulting juice simmer over low heat to reduce until you reach the desired consistency.
After it cools, transfer the sauce into a small bottle or another glass container.
Not bad at all!

Right before self-isolation, I saw that we had very little #Sriracha left at home 😒, but making a trip to Suceava just for sauce (you can't buy such things in Gura Humorului) didn't make sense.
We got the idea to make the sauce at home ourselves 🌶️, although we weren't sure if there was a recipe... or if it was even possible to get close to that taste... 🥵
