Vegan Sriracha Sauce

Hi everyone! Are you a fan of bold and spicy flavors? If so, you'll definitely love Sriracha! This Thai-originated sauce is made with the main ingredient of red chili pepper and has become incredibly popular worldwide, thanks to the creator of Huy Fong Foods, David Tran. Sriracha truly is a versatile and simple sauce that can be paired with just about any dish.

As a vegan, you may be looking for ways to incorporate this amazing flavor into your diet. Well, look no further! I have a simple recipe that you can try to make your own homemade vegan Sriracha sauce. 

This recipe can take some time!

The reason why letting the mixture sit for a few days is so important is because it allows all the flavors to fully develop and meld together. The time also allows the natural fermentation process to take place, adding depth and complexity to the flavors in the sauce.

During this time, you may notice some bubbling taking place below the surface. This is a good sign that the fermentation process is underway, and that your sauce is developing the tangy, slightly sour flavor that makes sriracha so unique.

By letting the mixture sit for a few days, you are allowing all the ingredients to work together to create a sauce that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. The combination of chili peppers, vinegar, salt, soy sauce, agave, and garlic creates a bold, flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes.


Vegan Sriracha Sauce

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 lb red chili peppers
  • 5-6 fresh Serrano chiles
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce 
  • 1 tbsp raw agave
  • 4 cloves garlic
Instructions

  1. Prepare the peppers: Start by washing and cleaning the red chili peppers and Serrano chiles. Remove the stems from the peppers and chop them into smaller pieces.

  2. Add ingredients to food processor: Add the chopped peppers to a food processor along with the vinegar, sea salt, tamari soy sauce, raw agave, and minced garlic cloves.

  3. Blend the ingredients: Process the mixture in the food processor until it is well combined and has a slightly chunky texture. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can continue to process until desired consistency is reached.

  4. Allow mixture to sit: Transfer the mixture to a large jar or container, and secure a coffee filter on top with a rubber band. Leave the mixture to sit at room temperature for a few days, allowing the flavors to blend and develop. You should notice some bubbling below the surface, which is an indicator that it's ready.

  5. Adjust consistency: From here, you can process the mixture further, adding water as needed, until you reach the desired consistency.

  6. Store the sauce: Once you're happy with the consistency of the sriracha sauce, transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It should keep for several weeks, making it a great ingredient to have on hand for all your cooking and flavoring needs.

And there you have it folks, a delicious and easy-to-make vegan sriracha sauce that is sure to add a bold and spicy kick to any dish. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just looking to incorporate more plant-based ingredients into your diet, this sriracha sauce is the perfect addition to your kitchen arsenal.
