Notes
Sriracha Butter is a quick compound butter made by whisking melted butter with Sriracha, fresh lime juice, sugar, and salt. The ingredients are combined while warm so the mixture blends smoothly, then cooled before storing. The result is a pourable or spoonable butter that firms up slightly as it chills, making it easy to drizzle or spread when needed.
The recipe works because the richness of the butter balances the heat of Sriracha, while lime juice adds acidity to keep the flavor from feeling heavy. A small amount of sugar rounds out the spice and sharpness without making the butter sweet. Letting the mixture cool before storage helps the flavors settle and prevents separation.
This butter is practical for everyday cooking since it comes together quickly and keeps well in the refrigerator for several days. It can be reheated gently to return to a drizzleable texture or used cold as a finishing butter. The base recipe stays the same even if the heat level is adjusted slightly by adding more or less Sriracha, making it easy to tailor to different dishes.
