Notes

  • Add more sugar if you prefer your sauce sweeter.  Add by small amounts (no more than a teaspoon at a time, stir in, allow to rest for a minute or two and then taste test before adding more). 
  • If you are concerned about a spicy flavor, you can cut back on the cayenne to just a pinch.  The sriracha and cayenne add wonderful flavor, so you will be missing something if you leave it out.  Please don't. 
  • Allow this sauce to rest in the fridge for at least an hour (it's better if you let it rest over night).  The flavor gets so much better by the next day.
