Sriracha sauce is a popular condiment that adds a burst of delicious spice to any dish. Try making it from scratch so it tastes just the way you like it!
Remove the stems and chop 2 cups Thai Chili peppers* (or hot chili pepper of choice), including the seeds.
Add the chilies, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice,3 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 cup white vinegar, to your food processor and or blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the sriracha sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Notes
*For a more mild heat use half the amount of peppers. You can also use red jalapeno peppers.
