For years I remember seeing Sriracha Sauce on the table in Asian restaurants, and my friends who loved spicy food called it Rooster Sauce because of the rooster on the bottle. But I’m not someone who loves ultra spicy foods, so for a long time I never tried it.

Fast-forward quite a few years later and I noticed food bloggers everywhere talking about the great flavor of Sriracha. And I finally tried it, and ever since I’ve been loving this spicy Asian hot sauce whenever I want just a little spicy-hot flavor in a recipe.

And Sriracha has become pretty mainstream in the U.S. and for the last few years Sriracha lovers have been alarmed at recurring shortages of this popular hot sauce (mostly due to production and supply-chain issues.) But I still find Sriracha for sale, and these days Sriracha Sauce is something that’s always in my fridge so I’ve added it to Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks, my list of food items and products that I happily buy over and over.

How do I use Sriracha Sauce?

I love Sriracha for the unique punch of spicy flavor it adds to recipes! I mostly use Sriracha mixed into a dressing or stir-fry sauce, and I do have a few recipes where it’s used to add spicy flavor to chicken. Check below for my favorite recipes using this tasty sauce, and be sure to check after the photos for even more recipes! (And if you have a favorite recipe that uses Sriracha, please let us know about it in the comments!)

Is Sriracha Sauce high in carbs?

This spicy hot sauce is something most people use in quite small amounts, and the bottle of Sriracha lists 1 teaspoon as the serving size and says “less than one carb” for the amount of carbs. So even if you used a few tablespoons in a stir-fry, salad dressing, sauce, or marinade recipe, Sriracha is definitely not going to add many carbs to whatever you’re making.

Want to make your own Sriracha Sauce?

If you want to try making it, my friends Todd and Diane have a Homemade SrirachaRecipe at White on Rice Couple and there’s also a recipe for Sriracha Chile Sauce at Viet World Kitchen.

Where can you get Sriracha Sauce?

When there was a shortage of Sriracha I would often see other brands of Sriracha at the grocery store, but you can still get authentic Sriracha Sauce (affiliate link) at Amazon.com. I haven’t tried any of the other brands; look for the green lid if you want the original Sriracha.
