sriracha

noun

1. (uncountable, usually)A Thai-style hot sauce, typically made from sun-ripened chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt.

   “While chicken is smoking, combine zest, hoisin, pomegranate molasses and sriracha in a small bowl.”

   “Chilis and peppers help, in whatever form. Hot sauce helps—shrill, vinegary tonics or sweet, syrupy srirachas. Lots of pico de gallo, with triple the jalapeño.”

   “Sriracha lovers everywhere are feeling the not so pleasant sting of the beloved hot sauce shortage, now in its second year. Drought in Mexico has resulted in a scarcity of chilli peppers – in particular, red jalapeños, the raw material of sriracha – leading Huy Fong Foods, the California-based maker of the iconic condiment, to scale back production.”
