Sriracha
A bright red Thai-style hot sauce made from red jalapeños, garlic, vinegar, and sugar. Tangy and garlicky with moderate heat — more complex than plain hot sauce. Squeeze directly on anything, or whisk into mayo and dressings.
Used for
- dipping sauces
- drizzling
- mayo blend
- noodles
- eggs
In the kitchen

Picking it at the store
- Huy Fong (rooster logo) is the benchmark bottle most recipes reference
- Adjust heat by starting small — the garlic sweetens as it sits but the heat stays
