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. 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. Made in Thailand in a large, modern factory, this is a more mild sriracha sauce (less heat than Shark brand). Por Kwan brand has a fresh taste but has more of a garlicky flavor, which is a great choice if you want a true sriracha without tasting the chile spice. Ingredients: ground chile, garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt, xanthan gum, fd&c red, sodium metabisulphite and potassium sorbate as preservatives, paprika, natural color. 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.
