Shark brand. This is our favorite sriracha sauce because it's one of the original classics that's been sold for years in Thailand. Try it in our recipe for Panko Shrimpcakes with Chile-Lime Sauce. Also see a street vendor in Thailand using sri racha to make Pad Thai. Shark brand is made in the Sriracha region of Thailand. It's the real thing--what the Thai people eat--and it's all natural without preservatives or artificial colors. Shark brand has a good mix of chile heat, and sugar/garlic/vinegar overtones to make it tangy and a bit sweet. Ingredients: chile, water, sugar, garlic, salt, vinegar. Product of Thailand.

Por Kwan brand. Back by popular demand is sriracha sauce from Por Kwan brand. This is a full, medium/high-spicy sriracha that has a strong chile heat. The chile heat is more direct than Shark brand (Shark is all-natural and has a more fresh-tasting heat, with stronger garlic and sugar tones to give it a nice finish). Por Kwan comes in a generous squeeze bottle, and at $3.49 this is a real bargain. Ingredients: ground chile, garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt, xanthan gum, fd&c red, sodium metabisulfite, potassium sorbate, paprika. 18.3 oz bottle. Product of Thailand.

Huy Fong brand. Made in the United States, this is the brand which has become popular and served all over the country. This sauce is very strong and heavy to chile flavor, a bit like eating a high-heat raw chile pepper. Despite the popularity of this brand, it's not what a Thai person might think is sriracha sauce. The variety of chile used gives the flavor a very deep, hot pepper taste. The flavor is overwhelming in our opinion and might take away the flavor of any accompanying food. If you want very high heat then this is the choice for you. Ingredients: chile, sugar, garlic, salt, distilled vinegar, potassium sorbate and sodium bisulfite as preservatives, and xanthan gum.
