r/Sriracha

I believe this is the one people recommend but I don't really get it. This one tastes nothing like the old Huy Fong, or even the new one for that matter.

It's really sweet and has a very smooth texture unlike the little bits and bops that are in the Huy Fong stuff.

Maybe I have the wrong flavor or the wrong Underwoods?

Anyway I'll still eat it but I don't plan to re buy.

Was cleaning out my pantry and found on the back corner an unopened bottle of OG Huy Fong (best before Dec 2024)

Next to a new bottle, it's obviously much darker and also more viscous. The new Huy Fong is a lighter more orange red, and the sauce is thinner.

Makes sense when looking at the ingredients, used to be a higher concentration of chillies (83% vs 81%). Looks like xanthan gum is also replaced with metabisulfite.

Taste test: brought me back to why I originally fell in love with the sauce. It was so much richer and complex, and a little bit hotter too. The new sauce pales in comparison, like a facsimile of what it used to be.

Will be treasuring this bottle, as we couldn't get Underwood Ranch here in Australia

I've never tried them. I ended up buying the smaller one (crying thaiger). I'm not sure if I made the best choice..

Nang fah (Tue Kung) – Sriracha hot chilli sauce 450ml

Crying Thaiger Brand Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce 440ml

Suree – Sriracha chilli sauce extra hot 435ml

Flying Goose - Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce 455ml

I can't find Underwood without paying above the odds for it, ditto Huy Fong. Flying Goose is everywhere.

Local Thai supermarket carries a few less well known brands.

Any recommendations?

I just happened to be walking by and saw 17oz Huy Fong sriracha for $0.99 each. I’m pretty sure it was a pricing error, but I’m certainly not complaining.

As a perk, each bottle added 3 cents to my fuel perks, so it’s like I paid $0.70 for each bottle if I get 10 gallons of gas.
