Here is just an idea I tried out... as I am sure MANY of you have. Recently I discovered "Rooster Sauce." I have known about it for years... used it before... but have developed an absolute love for it in the past few months.
Sriracha sauce is basically a hot sauce made from chilies and garlic. Here is what I have been doing... as per usual with me.. no measuring.
Over a low to medium heat, place olive oil or canola oil in a pan or pot... just enough for the amount of garlic you wish to have in this sauce... I mince or use garlic press for the garlic... let this cook... slowly ... do not let it brown..... then... add your sriracha sauce to your taste, let it kind of meld all together... then add soy sauce to make it, well... saucy. This stuff is really good on... ANYTHING. Steamed/fried dumplings from your fave Chinese take out or out of the freezer section. STEAK... this sauce is good to dip steak into. I could go on about the sauce, but I think you all know the deal here.
Next sauce. Soy sauce, sriracha, brown sugar and applesauce. Yeah... I typed applesauce. Sounds crazy. I take boneless pork chop and brown them, remove from pan. Add the ingredients for the sauce and let it cook a minute... put the chops back in and let it reduce all together. It makes a great BBQ sauce. It isn't too sweet and it isn't too spicy.
Today... I have been craving, of all things... french fries and gravy. Well I made fries. But decided to make ranch dressing. So while I was making the dressing (and I make it with HVR's powder but I just use buttermilk and mayo to the consistency and flavor I want with a bit of fresh ground pepper, nothing special)... and I said to myself... "What if I add sriracha to this??" Well... I did a small amount test... and OMG it was awesome... So I made enough to dip my fries in. I even added a dash of soy sauce. I licked the bowl. I think this would be a good thing to make chicken salad out of or put as a spread on a sandwich ... or mix into some pimento cheese. YUM!
I realize that perhaps all of you out there have quite possibly done the same thing. If you have any other ideas, please share! Right now... I do believe I could eat the sriracha sauce on nearly anything!
Thanks for reading! L.
