This is why sriracha is more of a chili paste than a sauce with its thick consistency. It has fewer notes of other flavors since it has fewer ingredients than hot sauces but it’s also why the spicy hot taste is more straightforward than hot sauces. This is also why the chill used is so important.
To incorporate in dishes with paprika, use one teaspoon of gochujaru powder for every teaspoon of sweet or mild paprika. Of course, you may add more if you want more heat.
