Sriracha Thai Cuisine Menu

[Edward]

Its hard not to salivate reading about a restaurant named Sriracha Thai Cuisine. After all, peppery sriracha sauce enlivens lots of dishes, but it makes a preternaturally good pairing with Thai food. It shines as the main ingredient in the spicy sriracha fried rice, but whether you're a fan of the sauce, the chefs at Sriracha Thai Cuisine strive to set your tastebuds atwitter.

The menu abounds with classics such as pad thai and curry dishes. The simple yet elegant interior almost seems to highlight the food, minimizing distractions so you can focus on the tastes, aromas, colors, and textures abundant in each dish.

Located at Cortelyou Road, Ditmas Park, Corthaiyou brings you the bold and flavorful cuisine from the 'Issan' region, Northeastern Thailand. Using fresh vegetables, spices, fermented fish sauce, and chilies, Corthaiyou will surely thrill your taste buds with classic Issan dishes.

In Thailand, sriracha is frequently used as a dipping sauce, particularly for seafood and omelets. In Vietnamese cuisine, sriracha appears as a condiment for phở and fried noodles, as a topping for spring rolls (chả gi), and in sauces.[2]

The sauce was first produced in the 1940s by a Thai woman named Thanom Chakkapak in the town of Si Racha (or Sriracha), Thailand.[5][6] The Sriracha sauce itself may be an adaptation of a Cantonese garlic and chili sauce originally from Shunde, China. In the early 1900s, Cantonese immigrants settled in Si Racha, and their garlic and chili sauce was sold in Thailand for decades before the first bottles of Sriraja Panich were produced.[7]

In Thailand, the sauce is most often called sot Siracha (Thai: ซอสศรีราชา) and only sometimes nam phrik Siracha (Thai: น้ำพริกศรีราชา). Traditional Thai sriracha sauce tends to be tangier in taste, and runnier in texture than non-Thai versions.[6]

In a Bon Apptit magazine interview, US Asian-foods distributor Eastland Food Corporation asserted that the Thai brand of hot sauce Sriraja Panich, which Eastland distributes, is the original "sriracha sauce" and was created in Si Racha, Thailand, in the 1930s from the recipe of a housewife named Thanom Chakkapak.[6]

In the United States, sriracha is associated with a jalapeo-based sauce produced by Huy Fong Foods[8][9] and is sometimes referred to as "rooster sauce" or "cock sauce"[10] from the image of a rooster on the bottle.[11] Other variations of sriracha have appeared in the U.S. market, including a sriracha that is aged in whiskey barrels.[12][13] The Huy Fong Foods Sriracha was first produced in the early 1980s for dishes served at American phở restaurants.[9]

Various restaurants in the US, including Wendy's,[14] Applebee's, P.F. Chang's,[15] Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell, White Castle, Gordon Biersch, Chick-fil-A, Firehouse Subs, Noodles & Company, Starbucks, and Burger King have incorporated sriracha into their dishes, sometimes mixing it with mayonnaise or into dipping sauces.[9][16][17][18][19][20] The word "sriracha" is considered a generic term.[citation needed]

In 2022, Huy Fong Foods Sriracha sauce temporarily halted production due to a shortage of chili peppers, causing the price to increase to $30 a bottle or higher.[21] The halt in production lasted for over a year.[22][23]

The original peanut sauce recipe calls for red curry paste, but I decided to use sriracha this time around for this thai peanut chicken satay recipe. Although I try to keep things on the milder side because of my 3 year old twin daughters, I also added sriracha to the chicken marinade. If you like more spice, feel free to increase the amounts of sriracha in the marinade and/or sauce, or do what my husband did and drizzle sriracha on all over the final dish. No offense taken if you do!

Thai food has been in the US since long before I was born. It was largely introduced when Vietnam War soldiers were on R&R in Thailand and enjoyed local dishes, fell for the women who prepared them, and brought Thai brides back to the states who cooked their specialties to bring in money. And they weren't the only ones-- huge numbers of Thai immigrants settled in the LA area in the '60s and opened up restaurants to offer a taste of home in their new country.

But it took a few decades of word-of-mouth recommendations, a comparison to Chinese food as the "healthier alternative", and a global trend for exploring international dishes for Thai food to grow far more popular than the percentage of Thai-American population would suggest. Thai food is everywhere nowadays, getting every more ingrained into American culture, and even if my mouth wasn't currently full with this 30 Minute Thai Beef Stir Fry with Sriracha Roasted Peanuts, you wouldn't hear me voicing any complaints. Thai food is here and it's here to stay for good reason, my friends.

One thing that happens when a cuisine gets as big as Thai food has is that people will start putting their own spins on it, and I'm guilty as charged. Because while I love an authentic Thai dish just as much as the next person, when the idea to include some sriracha-seasoned peanuts comes to mind, I'm not going to throw that gem away. Instead, I'll throw some sriracha-tossed peanuts into the oven while I work on my stir fry and then lament the fact that I didn't make a triple batch of peanuts so I could save some more for snacking.

The stir fry, by the way, is ready to eat by the time those peanuts are roasted, which puts this recipe (prep and all included) at 30 minutes from start to finish. As a woman who is always equal parts lazy, busy, and hungry, I can definitely appreciate a dish that takes up little time for big payoff.

I keep thinking that it would also be great if served over zucchini noodles instead of including zucchini in the stir fry itself, too, if you're so inclined. I almost went that direction but I figured that I'd give people options instead. Oh, and you could also use chicken if you prefer! Basically, you can get real creative with this one to suit your tastes, diet, and groceries, which makes it a great staple recipe, even for some of the pickier eaters out there.

One thing I do HIGHLY suggest is that you look for Thai basil, even if you have to go out of your way to swing by an Asian grocer to pick it up. I know, we're all about saving time with this one, but if you can find it without too much effort you will be so glad that you got that spicy, anise-like herb to toss into the mix. If you absolutely can't, Italian basil will do, but the flavor just ain't the same.

I think Thai basil is my favorite herb, honestly, which is why I am constantly forced to remind myself that I can't make Thai food for every post. No promises that there won't be another dozen before the end of the summer, though. A girl's gotta follow her heart, right?

When you try this 30 Minute Thai Beef Stir Fry with Sriracha Roasted Peanuts, make sure to take a picture and tag #hostthetoast on Instagram or Twitter. Let me know how you think it stacks up to your favorite Thai takeout!

Long time lurker. This is the one that pushed me over the edge to leave a comment. This blog is just TOO GOOD. I don't cook often, but when I do i EXCLUSIVELY use recipes I've gotten from you, and everyone goes crazy for them. I will never stop recommending this blog to people. I haven't tried this yet but I fucking adore thai food. Thanks for everything, Morgan.

Since moving to Temecula three years ago, Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar has become one of our favorite go-to places for many reasons. Todd and I like sitting outside with our cocker spaniel, Catie, who appreciates the dog items on the menu. (If Catie could talk, she would undoubtedly say "a chopped hamburger please.") The staff is always friendly and helpful and the creative "people menu" has never disappointed us.

So we were eager to try the restaurant's Asian menu, which was launched last year at all 13 California Lazy Dog locations. Wherever you are in Southern California, there is probably a Lazy Dog within 30 minutes or so, plus there is one location in Concord in Northern California. More locations will be opening soon.

While Lazy Dog's menu always included some Asian dishes, their menu has now expanded with the addition of some innovative and delicious "Pacific Rim" items, inspired by the cuisines of Vietnam, Thailand, China, Hawaii and Japan.

Lazy Dog CEO and Founder, Chris Simms, explains that the new items are part of the restaurant's philosophy of continually "evolving the menu to keep things fresh and on-point with, or ahead of dining trends." These new dishes certainly reflect that approach.

Although the new items were created by this boutique chain's Executive Chef, Gabe Caliendo, all dishes are prepared from scratch at each restaurant under the direction of each site's chef. Lazy Dog's personable manager in Temecula, Mike Barron, welcomed us and described some of the new dishes. He asked if we would like to try a sampling and we happily agreed. Little did we know what a feast was in store for us. To really get into the spirit of Asian dining, we were offered and enjoyed using chopsticks.
