EASY HOMEMADE SRIRACHA SAUCE
Rooster Sauce! It's not your typical vinegar based cayenne sauce because it's thicker, sweeter and way more versatile. It's great on everything and it brings the perfect blend of thai chile heat, garlic, and a subtle sweetness that makes every drop of sweat worth it. Try it in soups, eggs, pizza, noodles, tacos, steak, chicken.... you get it. There are entire cookbooks dedicated to incorporating Sriracha sauce in to every recipe! The ingredients are simple enough and the process only takes a few minutes. The only special tools you need are a food processor and some clean hot sauce bottles or jars. I use a mini chopper that works well and I've used a blender which gets the job done too.

Steps:
- Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes, and place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing several times to start.
- Transfer puree into a large glass container such as a large jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
- Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar; 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 strainer.
- Place saucepan on a burner and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Skim foam if desired.
- Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe red jalapeños for the best flavor. If you like it hotter, leave the seeds in, if not remove them.
- Roast the jalapeños before blending to bring out their natural sweetness and smokiness. You can roast them in the oven, on the stovetop, or even over a campfire.
- Use a high-quality rice vinegar for the best flavor. Look for a vinegar that is made from fermented rice, not distilled vinegar.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to balance out the heat of the jalapeños. You can also add other flavorings, such as garlic, ginger, or lime juice, to taste.
- Store the sriracha sauce in a clean glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 6 months.
- You can use sriracha sauce on everything from eggs to tacos to pizza. It's also a great dipping sauce for appetizers or spring rolls.
