  4. I made a sort of spicy mayo with some dukes mayo, lots of sriracha, some worchestershire sauce, and some lemon pepper. It was great on club crackers and dipping sushi or chicken into

  7. Another great item for dipping is deep-fried pickles. 1/4 an Clausen or other large pickle. Wrap it in a section of Havarti cheese then in an egg roll wrap. Deep fry until golden brown, then dip in ranch w/Sriracha Sauce. Fantastic.

  8. I make a sauce that I use for asian noodles or rice.

    Equal parts of Vinegar to soy sauce. (for example 1/4 cup each).
    Garlic and Onion Powder…about a Tbs. each (depends on how strong you want it)
    Brown Sugar…about 1-2 Tbs. (once again depends on taste)
    Sriracha…I typically put about 1-1 1/2 Tbs.

    If I have Scallions I typically dice and put in as well.
    Ginger is also a nice addition.

    Mix well until sugar dissolves…and walla delicious.

  9. I use it a substitute for ketchup. Way less calories and gets your metabolism pumpin! Spice is always nice.
