Sriracha Sauce

Sriracha is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Sriracha sauce was created in Si Racha, Thailand, in the 1930s from the recipe of a housewife named Thanom Chakkapak. In Thailand, Sriracha is frequently used as a dipping sauce, particularly for seafood. Within the United States, Sriracha is associated with a sauce produced by Huy Fong Foods and is sometimes referred to as "rooster sauce" from the image of a rooster on the bottle.
