I’ve been making homemade hot sauce for years and consider myself a hot sauce afficionado of sorts so if you’re looking for the best recipe for homemade hot sauce on the web, well then you’ve come to the right place! If you are a fan of Sriracha, this smoked Sriracha Recipe is so epicly packed with Umami by first smoking the peppers that you absolutely cannot deny that this is the most addictive, umam packed Sriracha you’ve ever had. Just to share my hot sauce street cred, I’ve shared a few recipes like my Caribbean style hot sauce sauce in the earlier days of this website. Early on in my blogging days I fell in love with making my own sriracha for a spell and it was Steamy Kitchen’s sriracha recipe, which is a take on NomNom Paleo’s Sriracha Recipe that inspired this recipe!
So, I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner that Smoked Sriracha is the MOST EPIC thing you can make on the grill almost 10 years ago when I first started making Sriracha! So here I am with SMOKED SRIRACHA! This Smoked Sriracha is a GAME CHANGER because it adds so much smoky umami packed flavor to everything!
A NO-Ferment Sriracha Sauce Recipe
This sauce doesn’t need the fermenting because it already packs a double umami punch with the smoked peppers combined with the natural umami of the fish sauce in the Sriracha. Paired with garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and the smoked peppers and you have a flavorful, balanced Sriracha that adds amazing flavor and heat and compliments just about everything!
In this epic recipe for homemade hot sauce, I first smoke peppers to make a smoked sriracha. If you can’t smoke the peppers, this is still a great recipe for homemade hot sauce where you will want to put this sriracha on ALL THE THINGS!

Ingredients
- 1 cup smoked fresno peppers OR red jalapenos

- 1 head of garlic, roughly smashed
- 1/3rd cup unsweetened/natural rice vinegar

- Put ingredients in a food processor (or blender if you don’t have a food processor) and pulse until it forms a uniform texture and consistency. You will seeds in the sauce from the peppers but make sure there are no lumps in the mix.
- Transfer the pepper mix to medium sized pot. Let it get to a boil and then reduce to simmer, about 20 minutes. Prepare to have your MIND BLOWN with SMOKED SRIRACHA!!!
