Homemade Sriracha Sauce. My husband loves sriracha. He puts it on everything. So when we started eating a whole food vegan diet, we took a look at the label of the sriracha.
The one that we had been buying was not vegan. In fact, he could only find one brand of sriracha that was vegan.
Most brands contained a fish sauce and a lot of preservatives. Even the vegan brand contained preservatives. So he finally decided to make his own homemade sriracha. Turns out it’s pretty easy to do!
This homemade sriracha literally takes almost no time at all to make. Most condiments are very easy to make yourself. You can check out my roundup of healthy condiment recipes here.

Recipe Notes
This sauce is very spicy. If you like less heat, you can remove the seeds or even use less hot peppers. Sriracha should keep in the fridge for a couple months. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
