Solving the Sriracha Shortage: Easy Homemade Recipes and Short Supply Explained

The ongoing sriracha shortage, caused by a legal dispute and climate change, has led to skyrocketing prices for the popular condiment. However, making your own sriracha at home is easy and affordable. A homemade sriracha recipe involves fermenting red peppers with salt, blending them with garlic, sugar, salt, vinegar, and xanthan gum (optional), and then sealing the mixture for a week. The homemade version can be just as delicious as store-bought sriracha and can be used on a variety of dishes.
