Sick Of Sriracha Yet?

by

I really hope that the answer to ‘Sick Of Sriracha Yet?’ is a unanimous ‘Heck No!’.  Cause I can’t stop, won’t stop.

I’m just kidding, I’ll stop, but only when I run out of inspiration.  Right now I have dreams of creating my own version of The Sriracha Cookbook, some kind of vegetarian edition.  A virtual vegetarian edition.

FoodFash Sriracha Deviled Eggs

5 Hard Boiled Eggs

1 TBSP Mayo or Vegenaise

1/2 TBSP Dijon Mustard

3 TSP White Vinegar

1 TSP Sriracha

Salt to Taste

Slice the hard boiled eggs in half, and hope for mostly good looking eggs and one or two ugly ducklings.  Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stuff some of the mixture into an ugly duckling egg half and… Eat it.  The ugly ducklings are taste testers, you see.  Adjust spice/seasoning in the remaining mix and then stuff the rest of the egg halves.

Oh and make them pretty with a pearl of Sriracha, which adds a little extra kick!

I will never be able to live up to my mom’s deviled eggs, she’s the queen.  But this is a really good rendition of a classic dish and a fun way to use Sriracha.  So good that I ate all ten halves.  Ten!  For those of you that struggle in the math department, that’s FIVE WHOLE EGGS!  Something about that sounds so creepy…

 

A Spicy Exploration

by

And so it is… my Sriracha exploration continues.  Tonight’s concoction?  Sriracha hummus.

I made two batches just in case the spicetastic version was a complete fail.

A failure wasn’t in the cards tonight, cause Sriracha hummus is the jam.

I used almost the entire container of the orange-colored hummus on my sandwich and then added shredded carrots, baby cukes (sliced lengthwise), and sprouts.

A super fresh wrap with a  hint of spice = the perfect post-Bayshore dinner!

Srirachatized

by

Look what I found today!!!  I was so pumped when I saw The Sriracha Cookbook on sale at Urban Outfitters.  So pumped.

I pressed some extra firm tofu for the occasion and marinated it in Intensity Academy’s Green Tea Gourmet sauce.  I’ve used this marinade with tofu before and I think the flavor absorbs pretty quickly without overpowering other parts of the meal.

In the meantime, I sauteed garlic, onions, and green peppers in a little bit of Earth Balance until they were sufficiently browned.

Then I turned to my new book for sauce inspiration and mixed 1/4 cup of Tofutti with 1 teaspoon of Sriracha.  Holy heck!  Every sandwich should be topped with this combo!

I slathered both sides of a sourdough bun with the Sriracha/Tofutti mix and then layered with veggies and fried tofu.

The only thing I would have changed was using a softer bread.  It was a impossible to eat without squeezing all of the good stuff out of the sandwich.

But that obviously didn’t stop me from finishing every last bite…
