How Sriracha Is Made | How Stuff Is Made | Refinery29 

I am eating pizza with siracha on it right now and I was like "Thats good as fuck, I wonder how thats made.." and here I am!😂

So thats where I come from...

I'm a bit disappointed this video doesn't cover the fact that David Tran is "NOT" the inventor of this style of hot sauce. Sriracha sauce was actually invented in Sriracha town, Thailand decades ago, long before he took the name, the recipe, though with some small adaptation, and started introducing it in the US. As a Thai growing up eating Thai Sriracha for decades, I get pissed every time some ignorant people claiming rooster brand "the original" while calling other Thai Sriracha brands copycat.

Literally drinking sriracha watching this rn

She made me pissed because She forgot to mention that the story behind the siracha sause is actually a thai recipe from the small town in thailand i actually live here :)

My first encounter with Siracha was when I was eating lunch with a buddy of mine back when I was a teen in the 90s. His mom made these awesome Chinese dumplings with noodles and my buddy pushed this bottle in front of me. I put a few drops in, stirred it up, and took a taste. Then I put about 4 dashes of the sauce in until the broth was pink. The heat snuck up on me quickly, but it tasted good!

A lot of people say Sriracha isn't that spicy, but it is for me. It's not every single time I put the sauce, so I'm guessing factors weigh in (the food is still hot when I eat or I put too much.) But so many people act like it's ranch dressing or something. Mind you, I love spicy food, there are so many other foods that are supposed to be spicier than Sriracha that I can handle better with.

I used to hate this sriracha sauce until I tried the real original rooster brand sriracha!! I first had it at taco bell, subway, and other places who make their own kind of cheap fake knock off sriracha sauce which was always just awful! Then one night I tried an off brand bottle of sriracha at my parents house and it was even worse tasting!!! Years later after all the hype I figured I would give it one more chance and finally bought a bottle of the real deal rooster original at the store and omg it was/is just amazing!! Its totally different than all the others! Perfect flavor and heat combo, and its the best "hot" sauce I have ever had hands down and ive tried thousands!! Just love that fresh REAL pepper taste that no other hot sauce has... I avoided and was deprived of good real sriracha for years because of all the cheap nasty fakes that taste nothing like the real deal original!!! Please don't let that happen to you!!!

I never used to eat spicy food and I didn't like chili at all, at least until I tried Sriracha!

sriracha is made by bang chan who is the dorky leader of stray kids

I had no idea about how the bottles were made but that blew my mind! They're stored in a small form factor to conserve space and then they blow it up like a balloon.

Actually Sriracha is a district in Chonburi Province, Thailand and in Thailand have Sriracha sauce since1950. But real owner can’t register a patent because government and DIP (Department of intellectual property) in Thailand said “The word "Sriracha" is the name of an district in Chonburi province. This is a geographical name under Thai and foreign trademark laws and cannot be registered as a trademark and holds the sole right. But operators can use the word as part of the trademark.” That’s why Thai don’t have copyright.

i live near the factory. i drive by it everyday lol

I put siracha on everything including ice cream. DONT ew me! You know your going to try it now.

a meal is never complete without sriracha :)

I LOVE SIRACHA ITS AMAZINGGGGG

Watching this during the shortage. Man all those bottles would fetch a mint on eBay right now.

oh... by the way, Sriracha is a district in Cholburi province Thailand where the original Sriracha sauce was invented.

i come from a town in Thailand called sriracha 😱

I hope they get back upnand going! I miss it

He may found his version but siracha is originally from Thailand and real original siracha is still selling

I just don't understand why the bottle which I'm staring at right now , says total sugars is 0 grams, yet it says sugar in the ingredients and you can actually taste the sugar in there.

So they don't remove the pedicle (stalk) before throwing it into the grinder?

Eating it on my popcorn rn.

Nobody here talking about the shortage?

Sriracha: how’s it made Video: chilis

Soooo... is that machine a filling machine or a rinsing machine?

I'm here watching this on the toilet due to Sriracha. 😅

My mom, sister, and I bamboozled ourselves because we thought it was Vietnamese (since Huy Fong, the brand we use, was named after a Vietnamese train) and my dad who was from Thailand was right all along. 😔

Oh yes Sriracha goodness mmm talking about sriracha I have some in the refrigerator waiting for me to eat it yes the same product that you are reviewing in this video tuong 28oz

Thanks for this video always learning something when I see videos of how stuff is made aformed

I DECLARE SRIRACHA SAUCE ADDICTION !!!!

they use fresh garlic or garlic powder? thanks.

Are those peppers fermented ?

Haha... Yeah... "Rooster" sauce

I wonder - with the current sriracha shortage, perhaps they should open a second grow-op in Iowa? The soil there is some of the best in the world, is perfect for jalapenos, and the climate in summer is hot and humid (late May to late September). Plus land is cheap and plentiful and lord know there would be many reliable people looking for employment there.

The happiest place on earth!!!

So, is this considered to be a fermented sauce? Or just pickled peppers in vinegar?

Sriracha is bomb in soups !

Hi I understood you to say plants received 21 tons a day,that's 42,000 thousand pounds,that's not a lot to peppers to make the volume it would take to supply the world.

This is a better video then food insider

Only if I lived closer I would apply for a job. I basically do the same with Heinz Ketchup.

It's soooo good

Have any of you tried sriracha sauce by koger's Foods co it is kogers brand value I seen it at my store and I said I will get the other one because I know It have a better taste the Kroger's sriracha is $2.29 for 28oz and the tuong Sriracha is 3.69 a 28oz bottle

Isn’t crazy how much work, effort, and time goes in to somethings us humans can devour in minuets?

Eating spam with sriracha right now and it's so good!

I'm sat here watching Friends on netflix, dipping Snackajacks in siracha..wondered how it's made lol

Seems like a gross oversimplification since the seeds/skin/stems don't magically disappear from the finished product.

I hope all those bottles are recycled or something......... O_O

How sriracha is made... We can´t tell you

Are the peppers delivered out of season too? Because by my math, if the peppers are only being delivered during the in season months, it should be closer to 5 million pounds total. 4 months x 30 days x 21 tons (daily) x 2000 lbs in a ton=5,040,000 lbs.

are the stems and seeds of the chilis removed?

+David Parody

I put it on my caramel corn delectable 😀

How much would it cost for a 55 gal drum of Sriracha

im eating my chicken ramen noodles with sriracha while watching this

Not from 80s at all. Been made for thousands of years in Thailand

How much is a 55gal barrel of Siracha?

i wonder how good it would taste without preservatives

great value how its made

The options are endless on what foods sriracha can be put on.

Sriracha is best with Viet Pho and dim sum.

only in season 4 months out the year ... but delivered daily? makes sense

I luv sriracha

How do you pronounce the vietnamese name for rooster sauce?

This sounds like the must cheap way possible to make a sauce , I bet every bottle costs less than 50 cents to make

I put Sriracha on just about everything.

The woman is spitting fire

Sambal is the superior chili condiment

davidparody is the sriracha king

Don't buy temperpedic. My mattress came with a large colony of bed bugs and dust mites.

Eating chicken katsu with Sriracha rn and here I am! 😅

Sriracha is about as spicy as ketchup.

Sriracha is not fermented?

Their labeling is a little perplexing. Carb content is shown as less than 1g. It also says no sugar added but the second ingredient in the list is "sugar" meaning it's the second most dominate ingredient in the recipe. Hmmmm......

i love sriracha

Should have kept the baby food jar, plastic waste nowadays is enormous and could easily be slowed down if we could just bring ourselves to just change habits.

Good on popcorn.

0:15 thats wrong first batch is made in Siracha Thailand

Do a blue tack

Somebody needs to get their story straight another Sriracha same Factory says they put out 18000 an hour not 3000

I have met people who thinks the sauce is from China. I've lived in China for 18 years and I know that it does not originate from there. It's not spicy and it's weird that people like to put it on everything almost like ketchup..

My favorite sauce

POV your here during the shortage

I put Sriracha on my Sriracha.

David priority should watch this

All these people saying it isn't spicy are probably lying to make themselves look tough. Doesn't matter how hot your condiments are, its how tasty they are.

marteen got me here

this shit is too spicy fuck me

Sriracha from Thailand

Not hot enough for my taste. I always buy Tabasco Habanero sauce.

Omg u see that one red pepper at 0:40 xdddd

So is it a brand of hot sauce or just hot sauce?

the originals are from thailand

recipe is not a secret... also where is the fermentation processes ?

I put this on everything

Fucking love it
