Indulge Local with Sosu Srirachup, an addictingly bold, sweet and spicy sauce made in Oakland.
Sosu founder and chief sauce maker, Lisa, was inspired to create a more flavorful, more interesting ketchup during her culinary travels through Southeast Asia. Through much experimentation, she developed the perfect small-batch recipe using fresh, organic Early Girl tomatoes, fiery housemade sriracha, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, sea salt and garlic. A long, slow simmer gives the sauce its rich, luxurious taste and texture without the use of high fructose corn syrup or tomato paste.

We knew Srirachup would be an shine as a condiment for burgers and hot dogs, but its versatility in recipes has made it a “must have.” It’s a great ingredient to punch up a simple stirfry or egg dish; make mac ‘n cheese more interesting; gussy up guacamole; or even add a kick to Bloody Marys.
The natural sweetness of tomatoes in Srirachup creates a lovely golden brown caramelization in grilling and roasting recipes. Give it a try with these Thai-inspired Lime Chili Chicken Wings. Sosu is the key ingredient in an easy glaze that combines sweet, spicy, sour and savory flavors.
