CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce
CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce is a Vietnamese-style sriracha made with chỉ thiên chili at 348 grams per kilogram, which is more than three times the chili content of standard original hot sauce. This high chili ratio gives the sauce a strong, lasting heat while keeping its flavor balanced. Sugar and tomato paste add measured sweetness, the fermentation process creates a clean tang, and 12 months of ripe chili fermentation build deeper complexity with a charcoal-grilled pepper note. With a 4/5 heat level, CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce delivers bold spice, layered flavor, and a controlled finish.
Ingredients: Chỉ thiên chili pepper, garlic, water, sugar, vinegar

FAQs about CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce
The pepper is different, and so is the process. Most sriracha sauces on US shelves use red jalapeño as the base pepper. CHIN-SU Sriracha uses chỉ thiên chili, a narrow Vietnamese variety that measures 100,000 to 250,000 SHU fresh, far above jalapeño's 2,500 to 8,000 SHU. That raw material, plus charcoal grilling and 12-month fermentation, produces a heat with more depth and a longer finish than a sauce built on fresh-ground jalapeño.
Yes. CHIN-SU Sriracha uses 12-month fermented ripe chili as part of its base. Ripe chỉ thiên peppers are fermented for 12 months before being combined with the charcoal-grilled component. Fermentation converts raw capsaicin heat into a slower, more layered burn and develops a mild tang from the lactic acid process. That's why the heat in CHIN-SU Sriracha builds gradually and lingers. It behaves differently from a fresh-ground chili sauce even at the same heat rating.
It adds a layer of dry, smoky depth that raw or steam-processed chili can't produce. The chili peppers are grilled over charcoal for 15 minutes before blending. That step drives off surface moisture, concentrates the capsaicin, and builds faint smoke compounds in the pepper flesh. The result is heat that feels rounder and slightly smoky rather than sharp and raw. That's what separates CHIN-SU Sriracha's heat character from a fresh-chili sauce at the same SHU level.
The formula is built to balance heat against sweetness and tanginess, not let heat dominate alone. Sugar and tomato paste provide the sweetness; fermentation adds the tangy note; chỉ thiên chili at 348g/kg delivers the 4/5 heat. All three work at the same time in a finished bite. That balance, what the brand describes as "perfect heat," is why the sauce works on eggs and tacos as well as stir-fry and wings. The heat is strong, but it doesn't cancel out the other flavors.
Yes, CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce is gluten free. The formula contains no wheat, barley, or rye. Core ingredients are chỉ thiên chili pepper, garlic, water, sugar, salt, and tomato paste. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, check the current label before use, as formulas can change.
Yes, CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce is keto-friendly at standard serving sizes. A ketogenic diet allows 20 to 50g of carbs per day (StatPearls, NCBI). At 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per use, the carbohydrate contribution stays well within that range. Confirm the exact carb count per serving on the US label before use.
Yes, CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce is suitable for vegetarians. The formula contains no meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, or eggs. All core ingredients, chỉ thiên chili, garlic, water, sugar, salt, and tomato paste, are plant-based.
CHIN-SU is now available across the U.S. at leading retailers, including mainstream grocery chains such as Costco, Safeway, Albertsons, and World Market; Asian supermarkets like 99 Ranch Market, T&T, H Mart, JONS, and Thuan Phat; as well as online through Weee! and Amazon.
Keep it in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight before opening. After opening, close the flip-top cap tightly and refrigerate. Cold storage slows oxidation and holds the smoky fermented chili character longer. The transparent bottle lets you see how much is left without opening it.
CHIN-SU Sriracha Hot Sauce has a shelf life of 9 months from the manufacture date. Check the manufacture date printed on the packaging to know when your bottle expires. After opening, refrigerate and use within 3 months for best flavor. Discard if the smell turns sharply sour beyond the expected fermented note, or if the texture separates and does not mix back when stirred.
