Sriracha: why do so many people like it?
It's 20% sugar. No wonder.

- koralatov 10y agoThe green-topped bottle in the linked piece is 20g sugar per 100g, but I've seen some in the UK that are 25g or even 30g. I don't eat the stuff myself, but know a lot of people who do and they often put on quite a lot -- definitely more than 1/96th of a bottle serving.
- matthewdgreen 10y agoIf you like the taste of Sriracha, buy the same brand's "Chili Garlic Sauce". Same flavor without the sugar. See: https://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Chili-Garlic-Sauce/dp/B0016L34GO https://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Chili-Garlic-Sauce/dp/B0016L...
- Dylan16807 10y agoA sauce is probably the best place to put sugar. A tiny amount goes a long way.
- RandomOpinion 10y agoIf you're avoiding sugar but want a similar sauce, what you want is "chili garlic sauce" that comes from the same manufacturer (Huy Fong) in a jar with a green lid. http://www.eatitatlanta.com/2008/10/30/chili-sauces-explained-sriracha-sambal-oelek-and-chili-garlic-sauce/ http://www.eatitatlanta.com/2008/10/30/chili-sauces-explaine...
