This sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce is the perfect compliment to grilled chicken or fish, pork and even veggies. I love this sauce on some air fryer brussels sprouts and chicken wings.
It’s also perfect as a dipping sauce for egg rolls and my personal guilty pleasure—pizza rolls. Damn I love those things!
The sky is the proverbial limit with this sauce, it’s just so versatile and the heat level can be adjusted to any preference with a simple adjustment in how much sriracha is used.
Can I Store Honey Sriracha Sauce?
Yes, in an airtight container this sauce keeps well for about a week in the refrigerator. In fact, I find the flavor is even better with this honey sriracha sauce on the second day, after the ingredients have had a chance to hang out together.
I store the sauce in a glass jar. The sriracha tends to stain some plastic containers, so try to avoid those if you can.
Ingredients For Honey Sriracha Sauce Recipe
- Honey: Honey is an ingredient I never skimp on. There are some sketchy folks in the honey business, so try to source your honey locally at a farmers market or from a reputable beekeeper like the folks over at Crown and Comb Honey.
- Sriracha: There are countless brands of this on the market, and they all seem to have a different level of heat. I find the Huy Fong brand (seemingly the most popular) to be fairly mild. The Texas Pete brand on the other hand, will burn you down if you use too much.
- Tamari: You can use soy sauce for this but I prefer the less salty and slightly thicker tamari sauce for this recipe.
- Garlic: Use fresh garlic here, not the pre-diced, jarred stuff. And, microplane the garlic. The flavor from garlic that’s been run over a microplane is much better for infusing into a sauce.
- Ginger: Just like the garlic, use fresh and run it over a microplane for the best flavor.
How To Make The Best Honey Sriracha Sauce
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Serves: NA
Ingredients
½ cup honey 2 tbsp sriracha sauce, (more or less to heat preference)
3 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp rice vinegar
3 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp garlic, grated
2 tbsp ginger, grated
Step 1: Grate the ginger and garlic over a microplane. Grating them allows more flavor to infuse into the sauce than mincing them.
Step 2: Combine all ingredients into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking and whisking for ten minutes, allowing it to reduce.
Step 3: Remove the sauce from the heat, and set it aside. The sauce will thicken as it cools down to room temperature.
