I’ve never had Sriracha sauce, so I’m withholding judgment on whether or not the complaint was justified.
Coincidentally, I just noticed about an hour ago that Kroger has their store brand Sriracha on sale this week. You see it used a lot on TV cooking competition shows. I’m wondering what the fuss is all about, so I plan to pick up a bottle...
Be careful. Sriracha sauce has been linked to mood swings and violent behavior.
Oddly enough my dad hates garlic and yet loves Sriracha.
Serendipity.
I happen to be eating pizza with Sriracha on it right now.
Personal rule of thumb:
I use Sriracha as a topping for (almost any) savory food.
But when cooking a soup, stew or in preparatory seasoning I use Crystal.
That said - I would not accept a “store brand” for either of them.
