Recipe View Allow the Sriracha sauce to cool completely before transferring to sterilized jars or bottles. Store in the refrigerator for up to several months.

For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of serrano peppers or remove the seeds from the jalapeños.
Use high-quality vinegar for the best flavor.
Sterilize your jars or bottles properly to ensure a longer shelf life.
If you want a smoother sauce, you can use a food mill instead of a strainer.
Fermentation time may vary depending on the temperature of your environment. Taste the sauce daily and stop fermenting when it reaches your desired level of tanginess.

    I found that 4 days of fermentation was perfect for my taste. Thanks for the detailed instructions!

  • Spencer Roberts

    This recipe is a game-changer! So much better than store-bought. I added a little smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.

  • Veda Oconner

    Be careful when simmering – it can splatter! But so worth it for the end result.

  • Easton Damore

    I was intimidated to make my own Sriracha, but this recipe was so easy to follow! The fermentation process was fascinating, and the final product was incredible.

  • Minnie Littel

    The fermentation instructions are key! I tried another recipe without it, and it just wasn't the same. The flavor is complex and addictive.
