Moms, if you have a preteen boy, you know that they love to defy everything and beat their own path. Liam has been pretty good, but recently he has been in a sriracha kick. Anything and everything I make for breakfast, lunch or dinner he has to load it up with sriracha. I think his obsession stemmed from one day when Liam dared Hannah to have a spoon full of it and couldn’t handle it. That sibling rivalry has made quite the “macho man” Liam is acting like now.
Instead of letting him ruin all of our delicious meals, I came up with a few recipes with sriracha hidden in them that Hannah can eat too. I have made a few meals and surprised Liam when I tell him that it is already in it and Hannah love it and rubs it in his face a little. I have to laugh because they love to make everything a competition and I am kindly incising them a bit.
Here are some delicious ways I have come up with to add sriracha on everything!
For breakfast I came up with a wonderful:
Ingredients for the sauce-
• 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tbsp. low-fat mayonnaise
• ¼ tsp. sriracha sauce
• 1/8 tsp. salt
Ingredients for the potatoes-
• 1 ¼ lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• ¾ lb. russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp. salt
• 4 heads endive, thinly sliced
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup minced cilantro
Instructions for the sauce-
• In a bowl mix all the ingredients together until well combined
Instructions for the potatoes-
• Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a large saucepan on high heat. Add the sweet and russet potatoes, cook until tender and drain.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil and add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the sweet and russet potatoes and salt, cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes. Add the endive and green onions and cook until the potatoes begin to brown.
• Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro, drizzle the sriracha sauce and stir to coat. Enjoy!
For an easy and delicious snack:
Ingredients-
• 6 cups mixed Chex cereal, I like using half wheat Chex and half corn Chex
• 1 ½ cup cheez-its
• 1 ½ cup pretzels
• 1 cup peanuts
• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
• ¼ cup sriracha, more or less depending on your desired spicy level
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. grated ginger
• 1 tsp. grated garlic
Instructions-
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit
• In a large bowl mix the Chex, cheez-its, pretzels, and peanuts and lay out on a large line baking sheet.
• In another bowl combine the butter, sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic and microwave for about 15 second intervals until the butter is melted. Stir each time to combine.
• Pour the butter mixture evenly over Chex mixture and combine with your hands to evenly coat. Bake for 1 hour, stirring and moving the mixture every 15 minutes. Cool and Enjoy!
Easy Instructions- quantity of ingredients can be based on the level of spicy and servings.
• In a small bowl mix sriracha, minced garlic, and butter and microwave to melt the butter. Brush mixture on slices of bread and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil until toasted. Enjoy!
With Liam’s new obsession, I am constantly trying to come up with recipes that incorporate sriracha. I am hoping this phase passes fairly soon, the lady at the grocery store is going to think I have a sriracha problem.
Go Green and Stay Keen,
