Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Red chili peppers (preferably red jalapeños or Fresno peppers)
- 5 pieces Garlic cloves
- 120 ml White vinegar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 ml Water
Instructions
Wash and dry the red chili peppers. Trim off the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes.
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced chili peppers, garlic, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and water. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth puree.
Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken slightly and the flavors will meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Once cooled, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove any solids, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. This step is optional if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Transfer the finished Sriracha chili sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours before using. The flavors will develop and intensify over time.
