Make your own Homemade Sriracha

We’re letting you in on a secret…

Here at Banana Blossom, we’re famous for our top-secret sauces – only four people in the whole world know our secret recipes.

… But there’s one recipe we’re letting out of the bag: Our co-founder, Ben, is sharing the recipe to his homemade Sriracha so you can cook up your very own batch at home!

Homemade Sriracha Recipe:

What you’ll need:

• 25 grams small dried chillies.
• 2 kg large fresh red chillies
• 250 grams peeled garlic
• 50 grams fresh bullet chillies
• 1/4 cup sea salt
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1.5L water
• 500 grams white sugar
• 200 ml rice vinegar
• Sea salt, to taste

How to make Sriracha:

1. Toast your Chillies
   • Toast the small dried chillies in a dry pan until fragrant.
2. Cook the Chilli Sauce Base
   • In a large pot, combine your toasted chillies with the large fresh red chillies, peeled garlic, fresh bullet chillies, sea salt, vinegar, and water.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil until the chillies are soft, then remove the liquid. Keep 250ml of the cooking liquid to add to sauce at the final stage.
3. Blend in a food processor until smooth
4. Final cooking stage
   • Return the blended mixture to the pot.
   • Add the white sugar, rice vinegar, and reserved cooking liquid.
   • Season with additional sea salt, if desired.
   • Simmer the mixture until it reaches the desired thickness.
5. Enjoy!
   Store the chilli sauce in airtight containers in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
