The best recipes are usually family recipes, “secret” ingredient combinations passed down generation from generation. They’re masterpieces made by relatives that measure according to dashes and pinches rather than easy-to-record tablespoons and teaspoons.
These recipes are easy to love — but not always easy to replicate. That’s especially true for Michael Diaz, who says his grandfather made one simply amazing hot sauce. It didn’t matter that Diaz’s grandfather was Cuban, either. According to the Miami resident, the Latin-inspired flavors in his sriracha-style hot sauce made it one of the best you’ll ever taste.
Sriracha is a type of hot sauce made of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. It’s thought to be named after the coastal city of Si Racha in Thailand, where it was first made as a dipping sauce to accompany the area’s plentiful seafood dishes. Although sriracha is thought of as hot sauce, traditional Thai sriracha is tangier, sweeter and thinner than those you’ll find here.
