Looks great, the color most calling than the commercial and of course this can even go organic because you make it yourself

I love sriracha on most everything, just haven’t thought of making my own. That changes today when I go out to buy some peppers and garlic! Can’t wait to see how this experiment turns out. Thanks for the inspiration and video!

I really enjoy all your sourdough recipe-videos. I’m intrigued with the sriracha recipe, can’t wait to give it a try. Keep up the good work

I have a batch fermenting right now! Can’t wait to try it!!

Gotta testify here. Just did this and it's great and probably a lot more healthy! Thanks so much. So easy and worth it! Thank you!

Green sriracha! Nice 👍🏻

Cool I'm making sriracha sauce for my first ferment without realizing it! Fresno peppers were my first to ripen, and I only added garlic and salt to it just like here.

I'm a tad late viewing your video but I truly love Sriracha Chile sauce. Great video. I'm going to use honey instead of white processed sugar. Equal portions of honey to sugar ratio when I cook or ferment. Sugars bad 😥 Anyways I'm sure yur Siracha is great. Made my mouth water. 😊yum

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.

Great video! I've been fermenting my own hot sauces for a few years now and it's quite rewarding. I would add that fermentation is quite dependent on temperature, so your 1-week ferment could give very different results in a 75 degree kitchen vs a 60 degree basement. Oxygen is not needed for a lacto-fermentation but various molds and yeasts tend to like it. I got a mason jar vacuum sealer to suck out all the air from my jars, preventing any nasties from growing. Probably not as useful for a short fermentation like yours though.

Bravo, Thanks.

One addendum I'd add - make sure you're burping that everyday. The lid needs to come off to let the trapped gas escape. Otherwise you have a lacto bomb. If you're stirring it every day, which you should be doing to fight back mold, you should be fine...but don't forget! Another thing you can do is use those two piece Ball jar lids only with the rubber gromit facing up so it doesn't seal as tightly. You could also just use the ring and coffee filter. Personal preference - I'd also let that go two weeks instead of one. But I like mine reeeeal funky. Excellent video though!

It will work just fine. If you add a small amount of beet powder, it'll change the green to a very nice reddish brown and it'll add a small fruity hint. I've done this a hundred times with green jalapeños and green Thai chilies and green serranos when there were no reds to be found.

good recipe because of no heating that kills all the beneficial bacteria. when dont heat it and you add sugar you need to remember the fermentation process continues or actually it intensifies so be careful because your container might explode if left unattended for long period. also you can ferment the chillies and garlic halved and blend them after the fermentation. i personally found a sweet spot of fermenting for 3 weeks before making the sauce.

Yummy

Good recipe, Try fermenting 🌶️ and 🧄 for 5 days in 2% salt brine. it will enhance taste a lot.

Thanks for sharing this recipe for the *currently* hard to find Sriracha sauce! Also, I’ve been culturing things such as Kefir, sourdough starter, sauerkraut and hot sauces for over a decade and have never had issues using anything metal. I’d really like to know where that BS came from 😂😂😂. Actually while we’re at it, wood can actually be more harmful to your cultures if it had soap residue or food remnants in it, causes mold to start.

Nice and easy well explained am starting my own company in Africa with our chillies ,I need the Book maaan',😅😅🤣😂

Thai people are innovators. and arrogant, refusing to imitate any product or anyone. But what is remarkable is that they are skilled at seasoning all kinds of food. Therefore, it is not surprising that visiting guests of all nationalities are satisfied with the food prepared and sold in Thailand. Let it be known the actual owner of Sriracha sauce has never disclosed the production recipe to anyone. So keep in mind that the true taste of the origin Sriracha Sauce is so far better and more acceptable than all counterfeit sauces

I've shared this with my nephew the hot sauce maker of the family. Can you add pineapple? Also, if I win the book, I will send it to him!!!! Thanks for the amazing posts Grant.

you can make it smooth with a vita mix blender.

Interesting that 2nd video I have seen as people naming their red chilis as "Fresno" chilis which are a super productive growing version of a jalopeno which also tends to be a little milder than a typical jalopeno on average, but they vary. Fresno chilis are what you want to grow in your small backyard garden. One organicly fertilized and tended plant can be quite productive. It is usually pretty easy to get starts, too. I only know one store where I can buy ripe Fresno/jalopeno chilis in the summer, so you pretty much have to grow your own. One question: did I miss the salt? Basically this is a fermented vegetable like sauerkraut or kim chi, so you want to add salt and ferment in the cool season, or even in your fridge if it is not too cold. You can also add some multi-strain probiotic if you want to accelerate fermentation and have good strain.

Hey Grant! Tried your cultured butter recently. Extremely simple procedure! My problem...I whipped (in segments) for 1hr+! Didn't get separation. Any ideas why this simple process failed??? Thanks, Matt

Can you marinade the garlic in the vinegar?

I made this using three pounds of Fresno chilies. I made the mistake of not wearing gloves while cutting and deseeding. Wow did it burn ! It burned so bad I couldn't sleep that night and it continued burning for two days. Lesson learned

Oh no!

Can i double this in the same jar? Can I use green jalapeños?

Great recipe! I like the balance of ingredients. But you need a new blender. Those seeds after the final blending should have been no longer visible. Without heating to a small boil after final blending, the fermentation process will continue. I will follow this delicious recipe, but will heat it up after final blending.

best with Vietnamese soup on the rice noodles

This is my first time doing anything fermented, so I’m just following your recipe and hoping for the best but how do you know your fermentation is done? I started mine just a day ago and mine already looks like yours on day 3 or 4, the liquid is separated from the solids and there’s a ton of activity going on in the jar.

I bake sourdough using one of your methods, they always work out awesome. I have 3 haberno bushes, that are groaning under the weight of chillies, so this is perfect for me. My question about your method, is the very small amount of liquid initially. When I ferment carrots, they are totally submerged, so air is excluded. Does Sandor Katz cover this in his book?

Not sure if it’s in the book, but every fermented sriracha tutorial I’ve ever followed just uses the liquid from the peppers themselves. Seems to be enough, but I’m sure adding a little extra water wouldn’t hurt. Habaneros would make a SPICY sauce for sure 🥵🌶

Use non-iodized salt when fermenting because iodine kills bacteria.

Contrary to popular belief the seeds aren't hot at all. It's the membrane that holds the seeds, that's where all that heat is.

Can I use dehydrated peppers for this recipe?

Жыл бұрын

Hi, Terri. I have never tried it with dehydrated peppers. Depending on how they were dehydrated, they may or may not still have yeast on the skins. So, I would say to only use fresh peppers if you want to ferment them. But, who knows? It could work with dehydrated ones as well! I've fermented raisins before and they are dehydrated, so it could work for you to!

This is just a personal preference I love garlic but fermenting it just overwhelms the sauce a little to much and I feel like even if your fermenting if you want a garlicy sauce at the garlic in last. I've just got weird results over and over. And then I tried it without garlic and it tasted good.

How about boiling it after the fermentation process? I mean boiling possibly would make it more storable for months.

@GrantBakes

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you could do that. I've seen cooked sriracha sauces. It would probably store better and you could even can it. However, for the benefits of the fermentation, keeping it raw is essential. Cooking would kill off the beneficial bacteria and stop the fermentation process. In my experience, the fermented sriracha keeps for months in the fridge as long as it's covered.

Honey instead of sugar?

@GrantBakes

Honey has antimicrobial properties, so I would probably just stick with white sugar. Decrease the sugar if you’re worried about it, and you might not need any at all. The fermentation will consume some of the sugar ahead of time anyway so I don’t think of it as being too sweet.

It is a really bad advice to stir. With every time you open your jar and stir you introduce oxygen and potentially some pathogens. Mold, Kahm Yeast and Acetic acid bacteria are all aerobic microorganisms so if you just want LAB the easiest way is to avoid oxygen as they fare well with and without it
