14 Spicy Ways to Celebrate Sriracha

Pssst … have you heard? Randy Clemens over at The Sriracha Cookbook has announced via The Pasadena-Star News that the Irwindale City Council voted to dismiss its public nuisance complaint against Huy Fong Foods, maker of the popular “rooster sauce” version of sriracha as of yesterday. I was sweating a bit over the potential order to the close the plant due to the odor complaints over the past several months. I mean, I’ve never been to Irwindale, but how could something that is so delicious and induces so much happiness be a bad thing? All that matters is that it doesn’t matter anymore. And I no longer need to stockpile at least four bottles of it in my pantry to make any of these delicious sriracha-based dishes. But maybe I will anyway.
