sriracha

Pho table squeeze

Sriracha is a hot sauce made from chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt.

The name comes from a coastal Thai city, though the sauce is now most associated with the American brand featuring a rooster on the bottle.

Sriracha has become a ubiquitous condiment, added to everything from eggs to ramen to pizza: I put sriracha on everything.
