    You have, and I pity you that you have not had it sooner.

    I agree!!! I put it almost everything!

    Mmm, yes we love it too. I try not to use it on everything, because all of our friends and family don't like spicy or hot food. But if the bottle is near empty, we run to the store quickly, just to make sure we have it at hand. So yeah maybe we're a little bit addictive.

    YES, YES YES YES!

    And did you know that Texas Pete has a new sauce called Sriracha-cha?

    Oh man it's so good too.

    The Tuong Ot brand goes great with Hoisin sauce, but beware Hoisin is loaded with sodium so only use a little.

    Thanks for the tip! I will look for those.

    I have to be a semi buzzkill here with a warning: If you find yourself suddenly having intestinal issues, particularly of the stinky variety, the Sriracha is gonna be to blame. My husband was dumping Sriracha on everything... next thing I know we're buying baby wipes, Preparation H and Gas-X in bulk.... so he tried simply cutting back on it, but that didn't help. We had to switch to milder Mexican sauces like Cholula.

    Most people can eat Sriracha no problem, but if you do find bad things suddenly happening in the.... lower regions.... knock off the Sriracha rather than running to the doctor, is all I'm sayin'.

    Chilli in itself is confirmed to be addictive, but i have to agree, after being sent some from mexico by a friend i met online many many years ago, I was hooked on chilli ever since.

    I tend not to have chilli now unless it in powder form here in the uk because almost every chilli sauce here is loaded with sugar, where as the one i got sent from mexico was sugar free.

    I so need a mexican friend lol....

    Or if anyone knows of a chilli sauce over here in england that is sugar free please message me, smiles. :)

    I just made these (with double the sriracha):

    They are delicious, simple, and you should go make them. They could probably handle a little more sriracha though.

    I'm more addicted to Cholula, but I love to marinate pork in a mixture of low sodium teriyaki sauce, low sodium soy sauce, Sriracha, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic cloves & a roughly chopped onion for about 8 hours, then bake it off. YUM.

    I, too, am a fanatic. I discovered Trader Joe's variation a couple of months ago- it's AMAZING! It's got a little less of a kick than some other brands, but the flavor is phenomenal. I put it on my popcorn, on plain rice, on sandwiches- pretty much on everything within reason. Also, I agree with the above poster- crucial bloody mary ingredient!

    I had to look up other ideas for sriracha last night and on Reddit there was a thread with some great ideas. I think I will forego the vanilla ice cream trial but it did make me laugh. But I have GOT to try it on mac & cheese post haste! I did laugh out loud at the person who said 'get a hard-boiled egg, cut it in half, throw away the yolk, fill the hollow with sriracha, enjoy'. I'm not there yet but I could see it happening.

    As far as tummy issues, et al, I am thankful to have the intestinal fortitude of a wolverine. I do like to watch my salt, tho, so that is a consideration. I will try to exercise moderation, as in all things. Darn it all.

    I'm totally addicted to hot, red stuff. Tabasco, korean chilli flakes, sriracha. I love that slightly burning sensation. Gives me endorphins;)

    You and I might be soul mates.
