sriracha

A Thai-style hot sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Unlike fermented hot sauces (like Tabasco), Sriracha relies on a balance of bright acidity, pronounced garlic, and moderate sweetness to deliver a highly versatile, viscous heat. **Selection & Storage:** Its high acid, salt, and sugar content make it highly stable. It can be stored at room temperature, though refrigeration will prevent its color from darkening over time.
