Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (about 250g) fresh red chili peppers (such as Fresno or Thai chilies)
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Wash and dry the chili peppers. Remove the stems and slice them into smaller pieces. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds.
  2. Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the chili peppers, garlic, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until the peppers soften.
  3. Blend to Perfection: Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Be cautious as the mixture will be hot!
  4. Add the Vinegar: Pour the blended mixture back into the saucepan. Stir in the vinegar and simmer for another 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  5. Strain for Smoothness: If you prefer a smooth Sriracha sauce, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids. Otherwise, keep it thick for a chunkier texture.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Tips for Perfect Sriracha Sauce:

  • Customize the Heat: Adjust the heat level by using different types of chili peppers or removing some seeds.
