One day last week I was in an Asian market on the north side of town. I was browsing the produce their was a beautiful selection of fresh veg., but the peppers caught my eye. wanting to make my own hot sauce for years, I decided to give it a try. don’t be afraid of this recipe, it is a HOT one I’ll give you that but I added tomato that is not in traditional sriracha and it really rounds out the flavors.
