Today is my dad’s birthday! In honor of this, I will reveal to you all what I got him for his birthday.
He recently took a trip to New York and went to eat at David Chang’s Momofuku restaurant. He love love loved it, so my sister and I bought him the Momofuku cookbook. It looked beautiful, and I hope that the next time I’m there he and I get to cook something out of it.
Anyway, he and his girlfriend also really like 2 things: salt and spicy food. On my trip up to surprise him for his birthday, they informed me that they’ve been adding hot sauce to their already hot salsa. It’s a little pathetic. Anyway, I found this recipe for sriracha salt on pinterest (it’s actually from the new Sriracha cookbook though) and thought it would make a good little homemade gift.
It’s incredibly simple. You’ll need sriracha and, you guessed it, salt.
5 tsp sriracha In a bowl, combine sriracha and salt in a bowl and stir well. Spread the mixture out on a sheet of wax paper on a pan. Let it dry for 1-2 days. When it dries, it clumps up, so I broke it up everytime I noticed it getting hard and clumpy. Then I put it into a neat little jar! I think it’d tasted good on raw vegetables, especially carrots, and also anything that you think needs a little spice and a little salt!
