Ingredients (and substitutes)

• Butter: Adds creaminess. We prefer to use salted butter, but you could use unsalted butter instead. (If using unsalted butter, you may wish to add a pinch of salt to the sauce at the end.) To keep this recipe dairy-free, substitute a plant-based butter.
• Sriracha: Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your tastes! (If you're out of sriracha, check out our top recommended Sriracha Substitutes).
• Rice Vinegar: A bit of acidity helps brighten the flavors in this sauce. If you don't have rice vinegar, you could substitute with fresh lime juice or apple cider vinegar instead.

How to make (step-by-step photos)

This Honey Sriracha Sauce is so simple to make! There's just 2 steps to this recipe:

Tips

• Use a mild and runny honey: A mildly-flavored honey will allow the other ingredients to shine too. A runny, pourable honey is easier to work with. But, you can still use a firmer honey—because it becomes runnier when warmed.
• Finely grated garlic is best: If you have a microplane or garlic press, use it here! Finely grated or crushed garlic will evenly mix into the sauce. Otherwise, use a knife to mince the garlic as small as possible so that the flavors infuse quickly.
• Adjust to suit your tastes: As always, feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha. Taste the sauce at the end—if it needs an extra pinch of salt, go for it!
• Re-warm the sauce if it thickens: It's normal for this sauce to thicken as it cools. Depending on how you're using it, thicker might even be better (such as spreading it onto biscuits!). However, if you want a thinner sauce, simply reheat it until it's the consistency you want.

How to use

This sweet and spicy sriracha sauce is really versatile—here's some ways to use it:

• Sauce for crispy breaded tofu (see photo below)
• Dip for chicken fingers or nuggets (plant-based or otherwise!)
• Tossed with roasted veggies—like brussels sprouts, carrots, or cauliflower
• Drizzled over pizza
• Served on a cheese board (would be great spooned over brie or crumbly cheeses)
• Spread over warm biscuits or bread
• As a marinade/sauce for proteins (such as chicken wings)
