Homemade Sriracha Food

HOMEMADE SRIRACHA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chiles and let cook 2 to 3 minutes, then drain and cool. Wearing clean kitchen gloves, cut off and discard the stems and set aside the chiles.
• Heat the oil in a skillet pan over medium-high heat, then fry the shallots until translucent. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let cool.
• Pour the tomato mixture into a blender and add the chiles, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and garlic and blend until smooth. Transfer to a clean jar or bottle and store in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, garlic powder, granulated sugar, salt and brown sugar. Pulse until a coarse puree forms. Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store at room temperature for 7 days, stirring daily.
• After 1 week, pour the chile mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool, then puree in a food processor for 2 to 3 minutes, until a smooth, uniform paste forms. If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, adjust the consistency with a small amount of water.
• Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to squeeze out every last bit of goodness. Adjust the seasoning and consistency of the final sauce, adding vinegar, water, salt, granulated sugar or garlic powder to suit your taste. Transfer to a glass jar, seal and store in refrigerator for up to 6 months.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SRIRACHA SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes, and place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing several times to start.
• Transfer puree into a large glass container such as a large jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
• Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in strainer.
• Place saucepan on a burner and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Skim foam if desired.
• Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.

• Mix salt and sriracha hot sauce together in a small bowl. Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and turn off the heat; let sit in the oven without opening the door, about 3 hours. Stir salt mixture, breaking up any clumps. If not completely dry, repeat the process and check after 1 hour.
• Place dry salt mixture in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until clumps are gone.

EASY HOMEMADE SRIRACHA SAUCE

Steps:

• Rough chop the chiles (seeds in) and garlic and add all ingredients to food processor and chop away until you get a smooth sauce.
• You can add filtered water to the mixture to get your desired consistency. Pour mixture right into jars and leave in fridge. It will get better every day until it's gone.
• If you have a strainer and don't like texture to your sauce, feel free to get fancy and use it. The sauce will keep in your fridge for a month (but you'll finish it before then).
