I've Gotten SIck of Sriracha

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

After 25 years or so, it just doesn't do it for me anymore. Never thought I'd see the day.

[Ollie Slatt 289]

If you want to try something similar, yellowbird makes a blue agave sriracha (and a few other great hot sauces).  It may be just different enough to rekindle your interest.

This is why you gotta switch up the hot sauces.  I've got 3-4 I use, depending on what food it's going on.

Yeah.  They all have their place.  Going too gung-ho on any one will leave you burned out on it.  Shit, eat BBQ for every meal, you'll get sick of it.

I mix Sriracha 50/50 with soy sauce. Allsome.

 

[Zepol87 9185]

I am just not a fan of it. I don't know why really, I just prefer other hot sauces. I will put a tiny bit in pho but that is it. Much prefer the red chile paste

What will be the next ethnic sauce of white people's fancy?  Gochujang?  Spicy Chili Crisp?  Sambal Oelek?

[Zepol87 9185]

Thought it was szechuan shit from McDonalds already?

[kevwun 15765]

I have never been a big fan of sriracha, but I love me some gochujang.

I use this as a binder to make sure the crushed butterfinger stays on the brisket.

You heard me.  Pick any food that I love -- BBQ, steak, fried yardbird, tacos de lengua, CFS, cheese enchiladas -- make me eat just that for a week, and I'll want to get out of the rut.

Hot sauces are the same.  They're situational, and variety is your friend.

Kinda like how sometimes I bang your mom, and other times I bang your sister.  Keeps things interesting.

Caramel works well too.

This. Too much garlic, sugar and vinegar.

But, but! There's SO much BBQ variety - I seriously think I could eat different entrees and sides for a whole month and (despite going super sized) would be happier than a hog in a waller.

As a matter of fact, we're almost 30 days out now, brb - going to pitch a idea of an awesome month to the wife...

[Sbbruin 21830]

I agree, different hot sauces for different things.  Hell, even tabasco has its place.  Usually in soups for me.

Try Shark brand sriracha from Thailand. Better than the rooster one from California.

I love Sambal Oelek and can get by with Gochujang.  I’ve used Sambal for years 

[deadshank 24652]

Have never thought too much sriracha.  It's not very good.  

[formermav43 4606]

What took you so long? I’ve never understood the fascination.

[TwiceHorn 31440]

To me, Sriracha is ideal for Asian food.  I call it "instant szechuan."  It blends really well with rice or noodles and oyster sauce and the other staples of kind of middle of the road Asian.  But I prefer other sauces for other foods.  It doesn't work as well for me as more conventional louisiana-type hot sauces for general use, partly because it's thick, and partly because of the addition of garlic and sugar, as noted above.

Agree 100% on this. Tabasco is so overrated. All heat and no flavor.

Tobasco isn’t even hot.  It’s all vinegar, a bit of heat, and no flavor.  

[Brisketexan 105079]

Its not even that vinegary. It’s just heat, a little tart, and that’s it. I much prefer Crystal.

Although Tabasco Chipotle is actually pretty good. And their sweet chili variety is good too.

Crystal, Louisiana, Texas Pete, Cholula are all infinitely better than Tobasco.   But yes, their chipotle is actually not bad.   

[Hank_Hill 18793]

Eh, something about Tabasco and cream based soups works really well. 

[Incredulity 11655]

2 eggs, tabasco, piece of sourdough toast, big glass of milk.

I second this. I was really caught off guard the first time I tried it. Actually has respectable heat and flavor.

[CurlyDumps 4468]

Tabasco is perfect for bloody marys.  I’ve never found a hot sauce I like better.  But I don’t care much for Tabasco on food.  There are so many better options.

 

This has been recc’ed before - Green Dragon Hot Sauce from Trader Joe’s. Not real hot, but great flavor.
