Spicy Veggie Pho—called Phở Chay in Vietnamese—topped with a healthy amount of Sriracha. (Taken at Saigon Noodles restaurant, Escondido, CA)

Psssst… did I mention I just joined Pinterest? Username srirachabook!

When I set out to write The Sriracha Cookbook, I had no idea what a humongous love affair the vegetarian/vegan community had with Sriracha. I dare say they might somehow adore the rooster sauce even more than your most carnivorous friend. (If you follow @quarrygirl’s tweets long enough, you’ll see what I mean.)

Case in point? Ryann at MyWholeDeal.com. She was badass enough to buy my book, despite the fact that it is decidedly not vegan (though there are plenty of vegetarian-friendly recipes), and has set out to adapt them to fit her awesome lifestyle. Take my Honey-Sriracha Glazed Buffalo Wings…

“But how do you veganize a recipe for buffalo wings? The three primary ingredients are chicken, butter, and honey… all vegan no-nos!” Excellent question, and that’s why I defer to the experts on this type of thing…
