Sriracha Seasoning Blend

What is Sriracha Seasoning?

Sriracha seasoning is the dry form of the iconic red chili paste everyone loves. It’s a blend of red chili peppers, garlic, brown sugar, and salt.

It’s the perfect sprinkle to add a touch of heat and sweetness while seasoning your favorite foods.

Sriracha Seasoning Ingredients

You won’t believe that you can make Sriracha seasoning with just four ingredients. You’ll need: 

• Whole Red Chiles: the base of this seasoning packs heat and flavor.
• Brown Sugar: a little sweetness to balance out the heat.
• Salt: to season
• Garlic Powder: add flavor

How to Make Sriracha Seasoning

I recommend you put on some kitchen gloves while handling the chiles; or, at the very least, be extremely careful to not touch your face.

1. Slice the Peppers
   With a paring knife, slice each red chili pepper in half, scrape off the seeds, and discard the seeds. Keep them if you want this extra spicy!
2. Turn them into Powder
   In a small food chopper, blender, or spice grinder, pulverize the red chiles a few at a time. Keep pulverizing until all red chiles are finely ground. 
3. Mix & Combine
   Add brown sugar, sea salt, and garlic powder, and finely grind again.
4. Store
   Transfer the seasoning blend to an air-tight container or spice jar for up to two months.

Sriracha seasoning blend is great sprinkled over eggs, as a dry rub for pork, to season all your protein, even mixed with sour cream to make a spicy dipping sauce!

How to use Sriracha Seasoning

To use Sriracha seasoning, simply sprinkle it over your favorite seafood, eggs, or rubbed generously over larger slow-cooked meats.

Sriracha Garlic Seasoning

Garlic is an essential ingredient in this Sriracha seasoning blend and one that will make your food boldly spicy and savory at the same time.

The recipe below has 1 teaspoon of garlic powder; but for extra garlic taste, increase to 1 ½ teaspoons.

Is Sriracha Seasoning Spicy?

Surprisingly, Sriracha seasoning is moderately spicy compared to something like Tabasco, for example. The level of heat in the chiles measures 2000 in comparison to 50,000 from cayenne peppers.
