Sriracha has built a fervent fanbase over the years, but the makers of this cult-favorite hot sauce announced an , much to the dismay of spicy sauce-lovers. The shortage is a product of a particularly meager spring harvest of chili peppers used in making the Thai-inspired condiment, (PDF).

The best Sriracha alternatives to try this summer
La Gon Ma
Chili crisp isn’t an exact Sriracha replacement but it has a lot of the same flavors: heat, sweet and umami. Lao Gan Ma’s chili crisp is another cult-favorite condiment and 파타야골프 can add some nice pop to your foods when Sriracha isn’t an option.
Polar
This is one I haven’t tested yet, but the recipe is similar to Hoy Fung’s Sriracha and this Thai-made chili sauce gets enthusiastic reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. A pack of six bottles will run you $18 on Amazon.
Fly by Jing
Fly by Jing also makes an excellent chili crisp for topping sandwiches, ramen, stir-fries and dipping your dumplings and other dim sum favorites into. It sports a harmony of sweet, spicy and salty flavors, but with a bit more of umami punch courtesy of sesame oil, 태국골프 mushroom and fermented black bean.
A jar of this addictive condiment will run you $15 or you can nab them at a discount if you buy four or six at once.
Fly by Jing
While we’re trying new sauces, Fly by Jing’s Zhong sauce is equally excellent, although perhaps not as close in flavor to Sriracha as chili crisp. This dipping sauce gets a rich sweetness from brown sugar and aromatic soy sauce.
Momofuku
David Chang and Momofuku make an equally delicious chili crunch condiment. This version has a healthy dose of sesame seeds and will keep your food sufficiently spiced until Sriracha comes back in stock.
Bushwick Kitchen
As you might expect, the popularity of Sriracha has spawned some knockoff creations. Bushwick Kitchen makes the Weak Knees Gochujang Sriracha sauce. It’s made from most of the same ingredients as Hoy Fung’s sizzling sauce and appears to be in stock (for now).
Bushwick Kitchen
The Sriracha shortage is as good a time as any to experiment with twists on the sauce. Bushwick Kitchen also makes a curry Sriracha that’s in stock and selling for $11 a bottle.
Cholula
is another classic condiment that seems to be in short supply, but the sweet habanero is another good substitute that can shoulder some of Sriracha’s load during the shortage. Amazon has bottles for just over $4 each when you buy a pack of six.
Heartbeat
Heartbeat makes a full lineup of incredible hot sauces. While none of them are a perfect imitation of Sriracha, the is closest. If you like a little sweetness from fruit with your spicy — as I do — the and are also both positively addicting.
Try a 4-pack on or shop the full stock of on the brand’s .
Melinda’s
Melinda’s makes over a dozen excellent sauces that you can buy online. The closest to Sriracha is the tasty Thai Sweet Chili, but don’t sleep on others, including the and .
