Homemade Sriracha Sauce is so easy to make!
Sometimes the CSA box is full of, well, random veggies in such quantities that it’s hard to know what to do with them.
Last week, the box came with a half-pound of hot peppers. I remembered a few weeks ago that Suzie’s Farm had posted up a recipe for sriracha on their blog and decided to give it a try.
In essence, the sriracha (or rooster sauce) is nothing more than hot chilies cooked with a few spices and blended.
Although Suzie’s recipe was pretty good, it wasn’t paleo. This version reflects a few changes I made.
I halved the recipe based on the number of peppers I received, but I’ll give you the full-size version here.
I didn’t add any sweetener to my Homemade Sriracha Sauce, but you could add a bit of coconut sugar or honey to balance out the flavors.
All I did was cook the peppers down in a saucepan.
Then, I pureed the mixture and strained it for a smooth final consistency.
Be sure you remove the membranes and seeds if you’d like your Homemade Sriracha Sauce less spicy.

I dunno what siracha is, but I love hot peppers 😀
It’s the “rooster” sauce you can get at Asian restaurants/in the Asian food section of the market. Brand name is Sriracha.
Actually, the brand isn’t sriracha, it’s Huy Fong. Sriracha is the type of hot sauce. Nice site, I really like the PDF downloads for your recipes, I hope a lot more blogs/sites do that.
Thanks for that info, Chris. I misspoke. Cheers.
Where can I find a box of mixed hot peppers?
Hi David,
You could probably use a variety from the hot pepper section of your local market (I would just stay away from things like habanero/scotch bonnet and try to mix hot/sweet).
How long will it last in the fridge? Thanks.
One to two weeks.
Can you freeze the sauce?
Sure!
Just made this…… YUM !
Super easy to make and delicious. Thankyou.
🙂
