and it is ok, but not the same.  i cleaned the last bits of

out of the bottle (using a bit of water to rinse it out
several times).

You are obviously a master of the chili sauce! How would you rate them

Sriracha is an Asian style hot sauce. As such, it has a moderate amount
of heat and can contain a lot of sugar. It has the consistency of
ketchup. American/Mexican hot sauce contains little or no sugar and a
heat level that can get pretty insane. My kids like getting me some
American hot sauce with insane levels of heat. I enjoy not using those
bottles.
I bought some Lee Kum Kee Honey Sriracha yesterday because I can't find
my bottle of Huy Fong. It was too sweet for me. I'll just use it in
cooking. It would make a pretty good marinade for chicken wings, I
reckon.
