Etymology
The word 'sriracha' comes from the name of the city Si Racha in Thailand, where the sauce was first created in the 1930s. The original recipe was a simple blend of chili paste, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Over the years, sriracha has evolved, and various manufacturers have released their versions of the sauce with slight variations in flavor and spice levels. The most well-known brand outside of Thailand is Huy Fong Foods, founded by a Vietnamese immigrant in the United States. Sriracha has become a cultural phenomenon, often being used in various recipes beyond traditional Thai cuisine, including burgers, pizza, and even cocktails. Its rise in popularity has been notably influenced by social media, where food enthusiasts share creative uses for the sauce.
