    A sauce made from red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar and salt. It is used as a stand alone condiment or as a recipe ingredient.

    Is sriracha mild or hot?

    For a chili pepper aficionado it would be considered low to medium spiciness. However, the main ingredient being chili means that to a non-chili fan it would be considered a hot sauce.

      The flavour of this was really great. Reminds me a lot of sweet and sour sauce that we get at our local Chinese takeaway. Thanks for sharing.
