Sometimes I like my food a little risque. Downtown style. When I do, I usually reach for a bottle of Sriracha Sauce Huy Fong Brand, the one with the rooster on it. It's got the flavors my taste buds crave: chile peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. It taste so good to me, mmmmmm.
Tapatio used to be the hot sauce for me. It was cheap and didn't have the overpowering vinegar taste like many brands. Don't get me wrong, Tabasco still has it's place on the family table, but only at breakfast time, Ma! On hash browns Tabasco it can't be beat. At the grocery store, they sell a frozen bean & cheese burrito that taste alright to me. When I'm on the run, I'll grab bag of those, some green onions, and a bottle of Tapatio hot sauce. The register lady knows the drill. But don't you forget, register lady, Sriracha is my brand now!
There's a little pho noodle shop behind the bus stop on Carligan Way. On cold and rainy days the blinking OPEN sign becomes a beacon for grumbly stomachs. The letters are pink and have a blue circle around them. If you peel back the screen door you'll find six tables, a woman wearing an apron and a smile, and NO SRIRACHA SAUCE BOTTLES. GASP! But don't worry, if you ask kindly, Josie will get you one from the fridge. You see, she makes it herself fresh in a stone mortar every week. No preservatives, authentic style. On the bottle there's a picture of a rooster. I remembered that. That's how I got hooked!
In Thailand, the birthplace of Sriracha sauce, they never squirt Sriracha on noodles or soups. Strictly a dipping sauce, they say. I wonder if they realize how much they are missing out. :0(
Here's a list of foods I like Sriracha sauce on: Everything!
Do you like hot sauce? If so, what's your favorite kind? Is it Sriracha sauce?
Hot Sriracha trivia to tantalise your brain buds: 1) Sriracha sauce is named after the Thai seaside city of Si Racha.
2) Sriracha sauce has a scoville rating of 2,000. 3) Sriracha sauce tastes so good, all of

Sriracha for the win! I love this stuff. A friend of mine visitied Thailand for about 6 months, and when he came back he turned me on to the crimson ecstacy that is Sriracha.
