Wow this is good stuff. You really cannot compare it with the Hoy Fong Rooster sauce/paste. The Shark Brand Sriracha uses the Red Thai Chili, also known as the Birds Eye Chili. a 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville unit cultivar. The mature (Red) chili has a delayed potency the heat building up after consumed. This delayed burn is exhibited in this Sriracha sauce. As with other Thai chili sauces, it is a bit sweet, but not syrupy sweet it is well balanced. I tried it on a Jimmy John’s Roast Beef sandwich. Put it on a bite-sized piece, and ended up pouring it over the whole thing delicious. Thinking of how it might be used. By itself brushed on chicken on a charcoal grill, mixed into a Kansas BBQ sauce. Texas Chili, sloppy joes, Spaghetti sauce. This stuff would a fantastic secret ingredient in a New York Hot dog cart Onion Relish.
I purchased 2 bottles “Strong”, and Medium heat. I used the strong version. By my standards It is not really that hot about the same as Tabasco sauce. It starts out rather mild than builds up to a very nice burn. I purchased it from Import Foods out of Boise, Idaho they specialize Thai foods. Interestingly they have fresh vegatables. That are used in Thai and other Southeast Asian cooking. Good prices fast shipping and well packaged. https://importfood.com/
