Breakfast Dishes

Pairing hot sauce with breakfast dishes adds a burst of flavour that makes your morning meal more exciting.

• Eggs: Whether scrambled, fried, or poached, eggs and hot sauce are a match made in heaven. Try a mild and fruity sriracha for a gentle kick, or go bold with a super hot variant.

Snacks and Appetisers

Hot sauce is a versatile condiment that pairs well with various snacks and appetisers.

• Chips: A bowl of chips paired with a dipping sauce made with Mild & Sweet sriracha is perfect for snacking.
• Chicken wings: Coating wings with a Smoky or Super Hot sriracha sauce before grilling or frying gives them an addictive flavour.
• Cheese platters: Believe it or not, hot sauce pairs wonderfully with cheese. A herby sriracha can cut through the richness of the cheese, while a fruity sauce adds a sweet contrast.

Main Courses

Hot sauce can be an integral part of your main dishes, adding layers of flavour and heat.

• Pasta: Spice up your pasta dishes with a touch of sriracha. Our Mild & Sweet variant pairs beautifully with creamy sauces, while our Super Hot sriracha can add a fiery twist to tomato-based dishes.
• Grilled meats: Whether you’re grilling chicken, beef, or pork, hot sauce is a fantastic marinade or finishing sauce. Smoky sriracha sauces enhance the charred flavours of grilled meats, making them even more delicious.
• Seafood: Hot sauce complements dishes like shrimp, scallops, and fish tacos. A herby sriracha such as Lemongrass or Kaffir Lime Leaf complements the delicate flavours of seafood without overpowering them.

Vegetarian Options

Add excitement to vegetarian dishes with the vibrant flavours of hot sauce. Here are some ideas on what to eat:

• Roasted vegetables: Drizzling hot sauce over roasted vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and adds a spicy kick. A mild and fruity sriracha works well with root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes.
• Tofu dishes: Tofu absorbs the flavours of hot sauce beautifully. Try marinating tofu in a herby or smoky sriracha before pan-frying or grilling it for a flavourful dish.
• Grain bowls: A well-balanced grain bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and avocado can be made more exciting with the addition of hot sauce. Choose a mild and sweet sriracha for a subtle enhancement or a super hot one for those who love spice.

Side Dishes

Hot sauce is a great way to add a little extra something to your side dishes as well.

• Soups: A dash of hot sauce can transform a simple soup into something extraordinary. A smoky sriracha adds depth to tomato-based soups, while a herby variant pairs well with vegetable soups.
• Fries: Hot sauce and fries are a classic combination. Whether you prefer sweet potato fries or traditional chips, a dipping sauce made from hot sriracha is a must-try.
• Coleslaw: Mixing a mild and sweet sriracha into your coleslaw dressing adds a spicy twist that balances the creaminess of the dish.
• Garlic bread: Spice up your garlic bread by brushing it with a blend of garlic, butter, and hot sriracha before toasting. The result is a flavourful, spicy side that pairs well with pasta and salads.

Tips for Pairing Sriracha Hot Sauce with Food

Balance Heat and Flavour

If your dish is rich and creamy, a hot and super hot sriracha can cut through the richness. For lighter dishes, a mild and fruity or herby sriracha adds flavour without overwhelming the palate.

Experiment

With so many options to choose from, Flying Goose encourages culinary experimentation. Mixing and matching different sauces, or using them in unexpected ways, can lead to exciting new flavour combinations.

Complement Flavour Profiles

Consider the flavour profiles of both the hot sauce and the dish. A mild and fruity sriracha can bring out the sweetness in a salad or seafood dish, while a smoky sriracha can add depth to grilled meats or roasted vegetables. Super hot variants can be used to spice up hearty stews or to add a fiery kick to your favourite comfort foods.
