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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Transfer the finished Sriracha chili sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Step 9
Let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours before using. The flavors will develop and intensify over time.
