If you’ve never used dried chiles, you’re in for a treat. They’re easy to find at the store, and simple to prep for this seasoning blend. Save the extras and make some Homemade Curry Powder!

One day I saw this seasoning blend at the grocery store, and I let out a little shriek of joy.

I was so excited to show you! But then I read the ingredient list. Whomp whomp.

Because you're all hardcore *cough* (C'mon, you are, right?) I didn't think you'd be excited to see refined sugar as the second ingredient and a few other unpronounceables.

So, I decided to make my own! It sounded a lot more enjoyable than making my own sriracha.

The tricky part about mimicking sriracha in a dry seasoning was to find something to give it an acidic bite like the vinegar in sriracha. I used citric acid, which did the trick!

Psst...pure citric acid is derived from citrus, but there are cheaper ways to make it using yeast, sugar beets, or corn. So, check the label! If you have a hard time finding pure citric acid, then leave it out, but be sure to add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar when you use the dry seasoning.

I love how this turned out! It has a sweet-tart heat and can be used in a spice rub, marinade, or in any place you'd find sriracha.

Including popcorn. :)
