The guy’s gear and gadget blog, Cool Materials, just did a Sriracha taste testing, that’s right Huy Fong is not the only game in town.  Although the much discussed “Greta Huy Fong Sriracha Shortage of 2014” never really happened it is good to know we have alternatives.  Spoiler alert: Shark Brand does not win.

I bring this up because Sriracha is my favorite pepper sauce for making dumpling sauce, it adds both pepper spice and vinegar tang to a dipping sauce.

My dipping sauce:
2 parts soy
2 parts rice vinegar
1 part water
a few drops of sesame oil
Sriracha to taste
slivered scallions
