Best Sriracha Sauce to Buy in the UK

Flying Goose Sriracha is the bottle most widely stocked in UK supermarkets, and a good all-round choice for everyday heat. Sriracha is a Thai-style chilli garlic sauce, spicy and slightly sweet, thinner than a ketchup but similarly versatile.

Out of stock? See our sriracha substitute guide, or try it stirred through our egg fried rice.
