What is Trader Joe's Sriracha Sauce?
Trader Joe's Sriracha Sauce is a branded hot-chili condiment in the sriracha style, a sauce associated with Si Racha, Thailand. Its bold chili-and-garlic character makes it an easy way to add heat and tang to everyday food; recipes and sweetness can vary among sriracha sauces.
Use a little on eggs, noodles, rice bowls, sandwiches or grilled vegetables, or stir it into a dip or dressing.
