Sriracha Uses Recipes Are Easier Than Most Think

By Shirley Baker


When it comes to cutting calories and fat to lose weight, sometimes it seems that all of the excitement of eating good food is a memory. The truth is that it does not have to be this way. Although some diet plans can be fairly rigid and sometimes, overly restrictive, there are some ways around this without cheating. By incorporating sriracha uses recipes with traditionally healthy dishes, anyone can have meals that only taste sinfully good.

Despite its deep crimson hue, this is not a ketchup playing dress up.. While it can be used to make dips or give burgers a slight kick, sriracha sauce is a lot more versatile. Whether a person is a carnivore, vegan, or somewhere in between, they have to admit that a little spice always brings fun to most meals.

If a person knows how to mix ingredients, they can simply add one teaspoon per serving. This is an approximate measure but if an individual appreciates spicy dishes, they can even add as much as a quarter of a single cup instead. However, it is fair to say that if a person is unfamiliar with a particular taste, they may want to start off by adding a small amount on the side of a dish.

This is also a good way to learn the flavor profile. When garlic is oven roasted, it takes on a buttery consistency that is great for many pasta or grain based meals. Some people will incorporate their favorite barbecue sauce into meatloaf because they like to have that sweet smoky taste without having to fire up the outdoor grill. Although many are finding that sriracha sauce kind of ups the ante with just a little tangy heat.

Since these flavors are so intense, there is no need to add a lot when tasting for the first time. Most people add just enough to forget that a revamped meal is free of butter, gooey cheese, or deep fried starches. In addition to breakfast, these sauces can also be great for snacks and appetizers.

While its slight hint of sweetness is great on many entree and side dishes, believe it or not, some are also enjoying this as a dessert. Citrus or some tropical flavors like pineapple or mango are great companions for the tangy taste and there are even some who like to mix intense spices with nontraditional pairings like chocolate. Like anything else that is normally used on savory dishes, it helps to either be familiar with flavors or follow a recipe carefully.

Since not all sauces are made alike, it may help to learn about different sriracha recipes if a person is lacking inspiration in the kitchen. This is common with busy people who may find themselves entertaining small groups but do not have the budget to hire a caterer to help out. Many who do not consider themselves great cooks find cocktail meatballs, crab rangoon, or even savory mini pies take little effort and the cleanup is easy.

Whether the choices are temporary or permanent, it also helps to learn more than one way of preparing a favorite dish. This may apply to any protein, complex starch or vegetable. Most people find grilling pans to be a real asset since it allows it carmelize or create grill marks but the excess fat stays in the pan and not on the food.
