I'm talking about the Sriracha sauce that one finds in the bottle with a rooster on it in the US (Huy Fong foods, I think). I haven't seen it here in Korea. I have, however, seen another sauce (at least one) labeled as Sriracha, at Homeplus.

Has anyone tried one of these sauces, or know where I can get the 'real' stuff? How were they?

All I've seen is the Suree Sriracha sauce, which is what I use. Found it at Kim's Club. It does the trick, especially in some bulgogi or mixed in some tuna to give it a kick. I haven't seen the one with the actual seeds in it out here.

I know what you mean about the stuff with the seeds, but that's not what I mean. I mean the stuff in the squeeze bottle with the green cap. But it sounds like it's not here. I'll give the Suree a shot.

I've looked for months, even online, and the only place I found it was in Itaewon.

Small shops in Itaewon have it. It's about 7000W and is slightly smaller than the US bottle.

Kim's Club in Chulsan (Line 7) has it.

Hyundai Department Store bottom floor, at COEX / Samseong Stn.

Doesn't have the Rooster but has the same type of bottle, and green cap. Been using it for months now and tastes exactly the same - maybe not quite as spicy but that's ok.

I can totally taste the difference between the Suree and the real Sriracha with the rooster picture on it and although the Suree brand does the job, it definitely does not taste as good.

I found rooster sauce this week at the foreign food shop in Itaewon. Not the main one near Hooker hill, but the second, smaller on that says Call Center in the road with all of the African shops. It cost 7,500 won.
