2007 January 24, “Recipe: Tea-Smoked Chicken Thighs With Pomegranate Glaze”, in The New York Times:Sriracha lovers everywhere are feeling the not so pleasant sting of the beloved hot sauce shortage, now in its second year. Drought in Mexico has resulted in a scarcity of chilli peppers – in particular, red jalapeños, the raw material of sriracha – leading Huy Fong Foods, the California-based maker of the iconic condiment, to scale back production.
2023 July 2, Aliya Uteuova, “Sriracha lovers feel the heat as hot sauce shortage continues”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:Chilis and peppers help, in whatever form. Hot sauce helps—shrill, vinegary tonics or sweet, syrupy srirachas. Lots of pico de gallo, with triple the jalapeño.
