Sriracha sauce is a popular hot sauce originating from Thailand, known for its bold, spicy flavor with a touch of sweetness. It’s typically made from red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt, and it has become a staple in many cuisines around the world.

### Basic Sriracha Sauce Recipe

#### Ingredients:
– **1 pound red chili peppers** (such as fresno or red jalapeños, seeds removed for less heat)
– **6 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1/4 cup sugar**
– **1/4 cup vinegar** (white vinegar or rice vinegar)
– **1 teaspoon salt**

#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Peppers:**
– If using whole peppers, chop them roughly. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can leave them whole.

2. **Blend Ingredients:**
– In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped peppers, minced garlic, sugar, vinegar, and salt. Blend until smooth.

3. **Ferment (Optional):**
– For a deeper flavor, transfer the mixture to a jar and let it ferment at room temperature for about 1-2 weeks, stirring daily. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.

4. **Cook the Sauce:**
– After fermentation, transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

5. **Store:**
– Let the sauce cool, then transfer it to a bottle or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several months.

### Uses:
– **Dipping Sauce:** Perfect for spring rolls, dumplings, or fries.
– **Flavor Enhancer:** Add to soups, stir-fries, or marinades for extra heat.
– **Topping:** Drizzle over pizza, tacos, or sandwiches for a spicy kick.
– **Dressings:** Mix with mayonnaise or yogurt for a spicy dip or dressing.

### Tips:
– **Adjusting Heat:** Use milder or hotter peppers depending on your heat preference.
– **Sweetness:** Adjust the sugar level to suit your taste; you can also use honey or agave for a different sweetness.
– **Storage:** Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge; it should last for several months.
