Why you'll love this spicy sauce

This spicy almond sauce recipe has a short ingredient list of everyday items you may already have in your pantry. It whisks together in minutes.

The best part is, you can make this as spicy or mild as you like it, while still enjoying the delicious flavor sriracha brings. 

The texture is creamy smooth, and the flavors are nutty and spicy warm. This has all kinds of flavor layers going on.

With the early versions of this recipe, I used coconut milk which was delicious. I make this sauce so often, I began using water when coconut milk was the only thing I didn't have on hand. This updated recipe is delicious, and I will say that if you have coconut milk and want to use it, the result is even creamier and richer.

How to make a sriracha spray bottle

One of my early viral moments in blogging was this sriracha spray bottle. I still use one, especially for parties or having people over - they love it.

If you want to adapt your own sriracha bottle, find a large, wide sprayer, like you'd find in a gardening store. Normal spray bottles are generally too narrow for sriracha to pass through. Just sharing what I have learned in my fun process of having sriracha spray-ability.

How to serve this spicy almond butter sauce

If you are a fan of hot sauce, you will love this spicy almond sauce. Enjoy it in and on avocado shiitake spring rolls. Over pasta. As a dip for fresh vegetables. Over popcorn. Drizzled on a rice bowl, a veggie bowl (and dip that waffled tofu it this sauce, too!), or a noodle bowl! Or just with a spoon...

How long does this recipe last?

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy this recipe within five days.

Refrigerate any leftovers. Wait until it is cooled completely, and refrigerate in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid.
