Sriracha Sauce! We Love Sriracha Sauce!
Might be my favorite Trader Joe’s seasoning, and that’s saying a lot. Their new sriracha sauce seasoning blend is way better then expected. Always have been a hot sauce gal, and love sriracha sauce on most thing. When I saw it in……powder form? Was expecting the worst, maybe a weird extra sodium filled fake flavor at best. But this is actually great! It captures the flavor of sriracha but is a lot less bold, due to being a powder. A little sauce packs a punch and get too much on your spoonful and you feel it. This seasoning is easy to sprinkle and adds just enough kick, more evenly distributed to the dish 🙂
First up–eggs!
Love to add hot sauce to my eggs, and this seasoning was perfection! Did an over easy over toast and it added just enough heat without any bite being over powering. It added a pop to my usually boring egg, trying to use less cheese so it was literally just an egg on sour dough bread. A simple first test and the flavor really pumped it up a notch and shined 🙂
Next up, something fun
For my second test I tried to make the crispy rice with spicy shrimp that’s trending, but alas my rice did not crisp. Ended up with a spicy shrimp bowl that was amazing though! Combine cooked shrimp, kewpie mayo, a little soy sauce, and instead of the usual sriracha I used the seasoning. Comes out like a spicy shrimp roll and place on top of a rice bowl. Went a little heavy with the seasoning and it supported the dish! Had the same flavor as the sauce, but slightly more mild. Really loved it and was able to enjoy the bowl even more. One day ill get the rice to crisp and try that version too 🙂
Lastly, an easy go to
Air fried potatoes! Make these quite often as a fast but fun side dish, and the seasoning went perfect. I got the rainbow small potatoes from Trader Joe’s, sliced in half, and mixed in a bowl with olive oil/salt/pepper/garlic powder/sriracha seasoning. Toss in the air fryer for 15-20 minuets and then sprinkle a little more sriracha if your a hot sauce lover like me. Just like the rest had the flavor, had a kick, but not over powering in any bite. Evenly distributed on all potatoes and delightful to eat! This seasoning won in all three test and will be used maybe more then the sauce :0 10/10, its my sriracha friend now<3
