The List Of Ingredients
The list of ingredients required for Sriracha sauce is not very long, and you can get everything you need at your local supermarket. The ingredients are as follows:
- One pound of red jalapeno chillies that have the stalk removed
- Half a pound of red serrano chillies with the stalks removed
- 4 x peeled cloves of garlic
- 3 x tablespoons of light brown sugar
- 1 x tablespoon of salt
- Half a cup of distilled white vinegar
- One third of a cup of water
Once you have been shopping and have all the ingredients, you are all set to start making your Sriracha sauce at home. However, you will need to ensure you have some jars or bottle to put your finished sauce in when it is done, and the other things you will need are a blender
Step One
The first step is to put the jalapenos and the serrano chillies into a blender and also put the salt, brown sugar, garlic, and water into it. You will need to pulse the blender a few times until the mixture becomes smooth.
Step Two
Pout the mixture into a large sealable container and store this in a cool and dark place for three days. You will want to stir the mixture regularly once a day, and you may see it start to bubble and ferment, but this is normal.
Step Three
After three days, you can take the mixture out and pour it back into the blender, add the vinegar and blend it until it is smooth. Next, you will need to use a fine-mesh strainer to pour the mixture into a saucepan and eliminate as much pulp as possible.
Step Four
You now need to heat the saucepan on a moderate heat stirring it often and reducing it until it has the desired consistency, and then remove it from the heat and let it cool down.
Step Five
Once the sauce is cool, you can transfer it into jars or bottles and store it in your fridge, and it should last for a few months.
