hi maam sriracha is a fermented product like chili sauces 😉

[@WorldofThaiFood]

Chili sauce is indeed a type of fermented pickled food made by fermenting fresh chili peppers with the naturally occurring lacto acid bacteria. The original Sriracha sauce, for example, is crafted through natural fermentation, resulting in its tangy flavor with the help of skilled chefs and Lactobacillus. However, commercial chili sauces have taken a different approach, often using vinegar, heat, and other additives to modify the taste and extend shelf life, resulting in a sharper and intensely sour flavor. On the other hand, fermenting chili sauce at home is a simple process. The natural bacteria present in the peppers themselves act as the catalyst, eliminating the need for starter cultures. In just a few days, you can create a delicious chili sauce that can be stored in the refrigerator for an extended period. This homemade version may develop a slightly more acidic profile and a more multidimensional taste when done well. Ultimately, there are different approaches to making chili sauce nowadays, depending on personal preference. You can choose the quick and straightforward method or invest a little more time and patience to achieve a refined and complex flavor. It's all about finding the style of chili sauce that suits your taste and culinary journey. Thank you for joining in the discussion and sharing your thoughts! We appreciate your enthusiasm for exploring the diverse world of chili sauce.

Your recipe calls for birds' eye chilis and red peppers. What type of red peppers do you use with the birds eye chilis? There are many types of red peppers.

[@WorldofThaiFood]

Hi there! I use large red chili pepper also known as “Prik Chee Fa” or Thai spur chilies. You can use whatever variety you find that has low heat and contributes fruitiness.

[@markwindholz816]

@WorldofThaiFood Thank you very much. I will go to Chinatown here in Houston and buy some so I can try them out. Like you, I also use bird's eye chilis. I don't use jalapeños. I used the recipe I found that was supposedly the same as the original recipe in Taiwan. All my friends and family loved it. Well, the ones who could handle the heat. Lol. I had to go to Chinatown to buy the birds' eye chilis also. Love your videos. Keep them coming. 👍👍

Srirscha is a Chinese sauce, made famous by a Vietnamese immigrant to the US. The sauce originates in China,

Speaking of Sriracha, it is interesting that the sauce is named after the town of Sri Racha in Thailand. Regardless of the version you've experienced, there's a 'Thai Sriracha' sauce with unique ingredients rooted in the traditions of Sri Racha town. In my video recipe, I've showcased the authentic Thai Sriracha, capturing the essence of its origin. David Tran, of course, played a pivotal role in popularizing the name and the sauce with his recipe, which many people now adore. Food is a remarkable force that transcends borders and unites people. Fusing food and culture is a fascinating process where histories are shared and influenced across regions and traditions in diverse communities.
