Sriracha is the only way to go on pizza. Pizza is sad without it.

I was baffled by this until I realized that I'd simply been suppressing the memory of how bad pizza is in MN.

I'm a big fan of Sriracha, or as I like to call it "#### Sauce" , and indeed I put it on just about anything, but when it comes to pizza nothing beats the good ol' Tabasco.

There used to be a restaurant in Minneapolis named "Signapore". The cook there would make his own hot sauce in his spare time. He had to use a gas mask making it otherwise it would burn your eyes from being so hot. It was hotest thing I have ever tasted.

You guys got me curious about this stuff so I picked up a bottle at the store yesterday. Oh, yeah. I love this. Probably should try it on something other than chips, but it's good enough I will more than likely put it on everything except pancakes.

I love the pizza here, I eat it weekly.
You should try Cossetta's Pizza or Savoy Pizza in downtown Saint Paul, Paisanos Pizza in Saint Paul...or Pizza Luce in Minneapolis, those are my favorites!

Speaking of hot sauce and such...
I have tried most of the sauces listed in this post and love them all...I am willing to try any hot sauce because everything (except Mikes pancakes) is better spicy in my world.

So I was at the State fair yesterday and seen some VIPER BEEF JERKY advertised as the hottest jerky on the planet.
So I bought some.
You have to be 18 or over to buy it, AND you need to sign a waiver.
She gave me instructions and warnings after I made the purchase.
She said:
Do not touch you lips with the jerky.
Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands after handling the jerky.
And, to wash your hands thoroughly before going to the bathroom.

I ate a piece at the fair and was in pain for around 45 minutes.
This was the 3rd hottest thing that I ever placed in my mouth.

I love spicy flavor with a dash of heat, but this didn't even taste that good...and it burned my tonsils off.
So, after my taste test of the Viper Jerky, I do not recommend this to anybody.

However, I do have a nice chunk of if left that I highly doubt that I will ever eat...so let me know if you want it...and I will bring it tailgating.

I looked for it today at the store but couldn't find it.

Yeah the sriracha on pizza thing sounds weird. It's really an asian sauce. I used to use it in stir-fries a lot, but never really branched out on to other foods. While I like jalapenos on pizzas, I prefer the sauce to be good ol' Italian spiced tomato sauce.

As for my favorites, there's this company out of New Mexico called 505 that makes salsas and Hatch green chile sauces. Great stuff, all organic too.

I also had my curiosity piqued, and tried this sauce for the first time yesterday - I LOVE IT!

The funny thing is, this morning I tried it on a leftover pancake - even that was good.

Franks is the best sauce to use to make wings IMO.

Cub Foods has this in the International foods section.

I found a recipe for Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and made some last week after reading this topic. I also bought some to compare it and although mine was VERY hot, there was something missing. I used fresh Habaneros from my garden, and Chili peppers from last years garden.

Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce Recipe

For those so inclined, here is a recipe for making your own sriracha hot sauce:

Fill a container half full with peeled garlic cloves. Fill the rest of the way with 2 (at least) habaneros and a mix of dried serrano and cayenne pods that have been stemmed but not seeded. Add 1 tablespoon of non-iodized salt and fill the container (to cover chile pods and garlic) with 5% strength white vinegar. Cider vinegar or wine vinegar will work but will give you a different flavour.

As the chile pods re-hydrate top up the liquid with water or vinegar. After a few days to a week of steeping in the vinegar dump the whole mess into the food processor or blender and puree until a smooth, thick consistency is reached. If the mixture is too thick it may be thinned with vinegar or water.

The resulting sauce is tangy, quite garlicky and very tasty. Mixed 50/50 with tomato sauce (American catsup) it makes a very nice seafood cocktail sauce. Or it can serve as a salsa on tortilla chips. It's very versatile.

After comparing, mine was not as salty and perhaps something else missing, but my mouth was burning too much to figure out what!

Spdolphs -

Yours was missing some preservatives. The store brand uses sodium bisulfitel. It also does not contain Habeneros.
