It's universal, it's in everyone's refrigerator. If you ran out of it, and your local market doesn't have it there's a good bet your local sushi bar has a case of that shit somewhere in the storage room.
Everyone's on the Sriracha kick, it is common to see an American style deli serving up Asian food, and Thai food is in. And what's the sauce of the Thai folks? Fish sauce yes. But Sriracha that hot sauce is it, it is on a lot of tabletops these days. People are using it with mayonnaise to make spicy mayo. Spicy mayo? What next? I mean when we were growing up we added kimchi sauce to mayonnaise, we added French's mustard, or ketchup to mayonnaise.
So what's the deal with this product? In America the Huy Fong Foods brand is common to see in most restaurants and markets. It is a hot sauce made of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. It is named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in Chonburi Province of eastern Thailand, probably to be used at local eateries serving seafood.
In Thailand this sauce is primarily used as a dipping sauce with seafood, leave it to us to make it rich with other ingredients and spreading it over sandwiches, adding it to stews and soups, and salad dressings etc. etc.. I do love it though. It has a kick, but a bearable kick. Not like a sissy kicking you in the nuts, it hurts but it ain't anything like Bruno the ex-con kicking you in the nuts, that will hurt and possibly end your reproductive system.
Check out the Sriracha craze, sexy dresses? I guess so. She looks like a bottle of it.
