Yes, I think Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" has a problem with brand confusion. Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" is different to real "Sriracha" in the Thai sense of the word (the ingredients are similar but the balance is quite different). Real "Sriracha" is around 800-1200 on the Scovilles scale and quite liquid (around 20% added water) because it's used as a dipping sauce. Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" is 1000-2500 on the Scovilles scale and is much thicker (because it's used for squirting onto food). Hot sauces are, unfortunately, a very location specific problem. Where I live in Australia, you're more likely to find Sambal Asli (which is very similar to Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" with an Indonesian name). |
