    Sri Racha Panich is the real original one with history of almost a century. The rooster one is the copy one.

    Badia is worth a try if you want some extra heat. Otherwise, I'm really glad the Huy Fong sauce is starting to reappear on shelves in the DC area. I'd better stock up before the next drought in Mexico!

    Great Review! I am all over/happy with the Sky Valley, which I think has more garlic kick to it, and the Underwood Ranch. The Underwood, to me tastes very good, and I am very partial to them after the fiasco with Huy Fong, (I will have a hard time buying their sauce again, ever). But most importantly, the taste of the Underwood works, as does the heat level. I like a good amount of spice, for flavor, not just for heat sakes. When I want heat, there are other spices and sauces to go to, as I have never found Sriracha a real "hot" condiment. . Good Chanel!

    I got 12 bottles of Huy Fong from Target last week! I was absolutely stoked and hope the shortage is OVER! (only 3.59/bottle too!!!!)
    During the shortage I've been trying:
    Tabasco - hated it (ironic since I looooooove tabasco)
    Lee Kum Lee - very good - quality replacement - however, not much heat and seemed to be missing garlic notes, which I found ironic all things considered
    Kikkoman - prob the closest - but had blatantly too much heat and too little flavor - if you want a Huy Fong replacement - felt like they went mostly for a we can out burn Huy Fong here

    Been looking for a replacement since before the shortage. Something that hits all the Huy Fong qualities but not such a strong garlic powder flavor. Bonus points for richer chili flavor. Probably a less sweet Panich would do it.

    A few moths back my wife called me from the supermarket to tell me they had no (Huy Fong) Sriracha but said there was a similar looking hot sauce called "Tapatio" that was a lot less expensive than the Sriracha. I told to go ahead and get one, reasoning that some hot sauce is better than no hot sauce. To my surprise, I really like it. No, it's not the same as Huy Fong Sriracha (there's no garlic in it) but it's quite good, You should try it.

    Have you ever compared Chin-Su
    Vietnamese hot sauce to sriracha?
    It's not runny even thought the first ingredient is water. It does taste ketchupy, but to me that lends it a vinegar note to go with the acetic acid ingredient. It also has a hint of wasabi.
    It's about the heat of buffalo sauce, maybe slightly more.
    I have never had "real" sriracha, I just never got around to it before the supplier kerfuffle and now it seems wrong.
    But I do like the Chin-Su tuong ot sauce.
    I bought it because I've already been using Chin-Su garlic chili (nuoc tuong toi ot) soy sauce. I'm in love with this stuff.

    I went down the sriracha rabbit hole and spent nearly $200 on various srirachas including some OG's. Sweeter than Huy Fong was typical. My favorite was Grand Mountain which was on par with Huy Fong's sugar content. Didn't taste at all like Huy Fong but is quite good.

    After sampling Ox Brand’s Sriracha (it’s very garlic forward which is ok) & then watching this vlog, I decided to go for Kroger’s Sriracha.
    Kroger’s version is 90% similar to Huy Fong’s Sriracha ! It’s just missing that extra something but you can’t go wrong when it’s $3 for a 17oz bottle. I’M SUPER PICKY BTW !

    Personally, I don't need the hot sauce to taste similar to Sriracha, but I don't want any possible alternative to taste sweet or of strangely bitter!
    So many hot sauces that have Sriracha on their label have a weird taste that causes it barely even resemble the original! I'd rather stick with things like Frank's Red Hot, instead of constantly having to experiment with sauces to find something that resembles Sriracha.
