Sriracha Chili Hot Thai

Sriracha Chilli Hot Thai for a sweet and spicy kick

Cape Herb & Spice's Sriracha Chilli Hot Thai is a sweet and spicy Thai-style chili seasoning blend with chili flakes, garlic, bell pepper, and a subtle acidity. It is not just pure chili powder, but a seasoning that brings together heat, sweetness, and freshness.

Sriracha Chilli Hot Thai is the sweet and spicy chili seasoning blend from Cape Herb & Spice in Cape Town, made for stir-fry dishes, marinades, and anything that can handle some heat. It brings the flavors of the Thai coast to your table—spicy from the chili, sweet from the sugar, and fresh from a hint of acidity. It is named after Si Racha, a port city in eastern Thailand.

The base consists of 27 percent sugar and 25 percent sea salt, complemented by 13 percent crushed chili flakes, red bell pepper, roasted garlic, and 5 percent chili powder, rounded off with a touch of lemon and white wine vinegar. This creates that characteristic Sriracha interplay of sweet, sour, and spicy. A seasoning that gives every dish a little kick from Thailand.

Spicy, sweet, with a subtle acidity

Sweet, fruity, and savory—the blend lands on the tongue and unfolds first the sweetness, then the heat.

The chili flakes provide a decent fire, the sugar catches it softly, and garlic and bell pepper provide a savory base underneath. A splash of acidity from the vinegar and lemon keeps the whole thing fresh and vibrant. It tastes like evening street food—spicy yet balanced.

Unlike a pure chili powder, this Sriracha also has a sweet depth that rounds out the heat. That is exactly what makes it so versatile, from your breakfast egg to a wok stir-fry.

How to bring Thailand into your pan

Sprinkled over a stir-fry or a bowl of noodles, or rubbed into chicken or shrimp with a little oil, it is right at home.

It also works wonderfully in a sweet and spicy dipping sauce for spring rolls or over a bowl with rice, vegetables, and egg. A teaspoon is enough to breathe life into a bland dish. That is how leftovers in the fridge quickly become a favorite meal.

It also tastes great over rice, in a dip made from yogurt or cream cheese, or over crispy roasted vegetables. For a quick marinade, stir it with oil and lime and let meat or tofu soak in it. Sprinkled over fried eggs in the morning, it brings the heat straight to your breakfast.

Use sparingly and as a basting sauce

Start with a small amount; the heat builds up and only fully unfolds while eating. A splash of lime and a drizzle of olive oil turn it into a basting sauce for the grill in no time. Spicy Thai food is only truly complete with a cool drink and good company. Spicy, but so good.
