fermented sriracha recipe help

Posts: 1,172
Does anyone have one that works well? I have found all kinds of variations while looking around. Some have fish sauce, some have brown sugar, some have cider vinegar while some have white. I'm trying to get similar flavors to the store bought stuff as i like it, but want to try with a few different peppers

2-3 % salt brine, That is it
I use peppers,garlic , onion and some baby carrots......let ferment for 3 weeks,blend with some brine ,strain out mash. Blend strained liquid with Xanthan Gum,I do add a bit of vinegar and salt to taste to the final blend
In a 5 litre crock, I will use 1 medium onion,about a head of garlic, handful of baby carrots , the rest is peppers,
It wont be just like the store bought,but it will be better for sure

I do use cider vinegar. I like it way better than white for sriracha

Had a buddy send this to me but I have tweaked it a little. I use ACV to taste instead of the exact amount of white vinegar they recommend and I changed up the peppers a little. I leave it in for 3 weeks like Larry suggest above. It is very, very good so this is a good place to start. I have been using a mix of fresno, habanero, and stingray (which to me is like a serrano but it comes in a bunch of bright colors). I have 1.5 gallons of mash coming out of the ferment today. Good luck and have fun! My new favorite hobby!Ingredients:•¾ lb. (340 g) Red jalapenos stemmed and roughly chopped•¼ lb. (115 g) red serrano's, stemmed and roughly chopped•½ lb. (230 g)green jalapenos, stemmed and roughly chopped•4 cloves garlic•⅛ cup (25 g) sugar•⅛ cup (25 g) brown sugar•1-2 tsp (5-10 g) salt•½ cup (120 ml) distilled white vinegar•1 tsp xanthan gum (optional, to help stabilize the sauce for long holding)Process:•Place the peppers, garlic, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Transfer the mixture to a clean container, cover and let sit at room temperature.•Fermentation should begin in about 2 days. When bubbles begin to form, stir your “mash” one or twice a day to combine and help it settle. Continue until the mixture stops bubbling, about 6-8 days.•Transfer the mash to a blender, add the vinegar and puree until very smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Add the xanthan gum and puree again until smooth and thick. Store the sauce in squeeze bottles in the fridge for up to 3 months.

im not big into the vinegar and use fish sauce to taste. more garlic and dont strain it, put it in a jar and use a spoon. i tend to use thai and habanaros or scotch bonnets, or ghost. onions

oh yeah, double the garlic for sure. forgot that part. I'm all for a little onion and carrot too. Just use the above as a guide for proportions and it's all open for interpretation after that.

As above, the beauty is there is no Wrong Way, you will stumble across something you really like just by experimenting ......but Pleasee, don't be like me and write nothing down ( although I am getting better) I pull something off that really hits a note and I have to think back " what did I do"Visalia, Ca @lkapigian

as a side note, the actual sriracha sauce varies batch to batch, the garlic or peppers werent as strong this year etc. ive bought a few bottles that i did not enjoy as much as others

Huy Fongs Sriracha had a falling out in 2019 with Underwood Peppers who grew all of their peppers,quality and consistency have never been the same
