Creamy, spicy, and the perfect way to add some zing to any recipe. This creamy sriracha sauce begs to be used. Where are my sriracha lovers?!
Spice lovers, this sauce is for YOU! I've been putting this on everything from sammies, to tacos, even on pasta (hint hint see the featured recipe I made this for). You guys have to try it! It's definitely not for the weak, but you can easily adjust the spice level by adding less or more sriracha. I put the full 2 tablespoons in and loved every hot minute!
Why should I go crazy for this spicy sauce?
So many reasons why this will be a new fave:
- It's nut free! Yep, I have your back allergy friends.
- It does not require a blender, or any machine in fact.
- It is really fast to come together.
- It has only 5 ingredients (and one can be subbed with water to make it 4).
I have a sauce problem
Sauces are definitely my thing, a bit of an obsession as you can see by the loads of sauce recipes here on the blog. And this creamy sriracha sauce tops the list! If you aren't into spice, there are plenty of others to choose from:
- Tangy Creamy Dill Sauce
- BBQ Tahini
- Homemade BBQ Sauce
- Lemon Herb Sauce
- Light and Creamy Peanut Sauce
- Greek Tzatziki
The list goes on and on!

Oh my gosh this sounds PERFECT. I can't wait to test this out. I've got some tahini left in my fridge and I don't care for the taste on it's own. But mixing with sriracha?! YES. Pinning!!
veggiesdontbite
Totally agree! Tahini is much better when mixed. This is such a quick and easy one! Thanks so much!
Julie

Do you know if this would keep well in the fridge for awhile? this looks like something to make a big batch of and use often : )
veggiesdontbite
Hi Joe! Yes! I keep it for about a week before its all gone. I usually do that with all my sauces. In fact, I often freeze them too. Once defrosted they usually need a good hard whisk but they are pretty good!

This looks sooo good girl and nice and creamy and SPICY, so of course I'm sold!! I'm just about out of hot sauce, so I need to get some more so I can make this!! This would be good on just about everything, yep!
veggiesdontbite
Thanks Brandi! Yes! It goes on so so much!!

I think you're brilliant, Sriracha-fying tahini! I'm not a huge tahini fan but I think you've just converted me 🙂
veggiesdontbite
I never used to be a huge tahini fan until I found a good tahini. The ones I had tried were always bitter and not smooth and creamy. You pay for good tahini but it's so worth it! And I definitely like it better IN things! Like this!
Julie
Which brand of tahini do you use? 🙂
veggiesdontbite
Hi Julie! I've used different brands, there are some great ones and some not so great. I like to look for tahini that is smooth and runny. I just bought one from Blue Mountain Organics that is super smooth and yummy! Dastoni is another nice and runny one. But neither are cheap. I asked around and someone recommended Simple Truth brand that they get at Kroger, if you have those, and it's much more reasonable!
Mandy
Sriracha AND tahini?!!?! I'm sold. Good thing I'm stocked up on both...might have to make this to go along with our tacos tomorrow night! Yummmm!
