15 Sriracha Sauce Recipe // How to make Sauces at Home | Sauces and Salad Dressings Series Ep 15

Start by preparing the red chili peppers and garlic for the sauce.

Cut the red chili peppers in half and remove the seeds to reduce spiciness.

Wear gloves while handling the chili peppers to avoid skin irritation.

After removing the seeds, place the chili peppers and garlic cloves into a pot.

Add vinegar to the pot instead of water, ensuring a good amount is used.

Cover the pot and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the peppers are soft.

Once cooked, strain the mixture to separate the vinegar from the peppers and garlic.

Let the mixture cool before blending to avoid damaging the blender.

Blend the peppers and garlic into a smooth paste.

Return the paste to the same pot and cook it down until it thickens.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the spiciness of the sauce.

Stir continuously while cooking to prevent sticking.

Gradually add the reserved vinegar back into the sauce as it thickens.

Cook until the sauce reaches the desired consistency and flavor.
