Sriracha and chili sauce are basically the same thing!
These Fried Sriracha Deviled Eggs are made with chili paste, vinegar, garlic, a sweetener and a pinch of salt. They’ve been a staple in Thai cooking only a short time since the first appearance less than a century ago. Always opt for the hot chili sauce, if substituting, because of the heat so often associated with sriracha.
