Sriracha?sauce (also known as rooster sauce) is possible to make at home with just a few ingredients! It’s really fun and there’s hardly any work involved. Serve this homemade hot sauce on just about anything.
Ingredients
- 1 pound red jalapeno peppers, stems cut off
- ½ pound red serrano peppers, stems cut off
- 1/3 cup water
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Place jalape?o and serrano peppers into a blender with water, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse several times, them blend until smooth.
Step 2
Transfer puree into a large glass jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring and scraping down the sides once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until the mixture is bubbly.
Step 3
Pour fermented mixture back into the blender; add vinegar and 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 the strainer.
Step 4
Transfer sauce into a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Let sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator.
Step 6
Enjoy!
Chef’s Note
I used about 75% red jalape?os, also sold as Fresno chiles, and about 25% red serrano chiles, so this version is probably a bit spicier than the rooster sauce you're more familiar with.
