Sriracha Sauce

The key to a great main course is pairing just the right side, the sauce to accent the meal.  As you have read, and I am pursuing with more zeal, trying to make more recipes using non-fat or low-fat ingredients.  I am finding, one can really create so many recipes using lower or no-fat ingredients without losing any taste.  This recipe has only 4 ingredients.  You will assume because of the Sriracha that this is spicy.  It really is pretty tame.  It is the perfect sauce for the fish cakes that I served it with.

Sriracha is becoming a more used condiment in our house.  But what exactly is Sriracha sauce and where did it get its name.  Wikipedia tells us that Sriracha actually gets its name from a coastal city in Thailand called Si Racha in an Eastern Province. The ingredients that make up Sriracha are Chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt.
