How to soften butter quickly

- Cut the butter into small pieces and spread them out in a single layer on your cutting board. The small pieces will soften MUCH faster than a block of butter.

Kristen, this looks amazing! The photography is so on point as is the recipe. Sriracha butter would be the perfect addition to a warm grilled cheese sandwich.
Thank you so much! It really is delicious. š
WOW! I am going to make this and try it on grilled cheese sandwiches.
You should! It’s so good. š
Darn it! I just made a really austere garlic pasta dinner last night, and this would have been perfect for it! No worries, though – it’s one of my go-to weeknight dishes, so I’ll have an opportunity soon enough. Thanks!
Oh no … this would have gone perfectly! Good thing that garlicky pasta is a staple so you’ll have plenty more opportunities to pair it with the sriracha butter. š
What a great idea! We love sriracha and would probably want to slather this butter on everything!
We do too! And we use this butter on everything. š
I love the sound of this Kristen! I’ve never seen Sriracha in a jar. Where does one find this?
Hi Lorraine,
What I’ve actually used for the sriracha butter in the photos is sabmal oelek. That was before I figured out there was a difference between that and sriracha (embarrassing!) I have made it since with actual sriracha and it works great too š
The term you’re looking for is Sambal Oelek. That’s the chunky pepper sauce.
It is! I wish I had known that when writing this post (hanging head in shame š )
So… I’m loving this idea and am thinking of making (refrigerated) holiday gift jars this year. I do, however, have a question in regards to the photo you’ve included here. It looks as if there is additional particulate that I would not expect from simply blending these two ingredients. Maybe it’s an illusion, but the pic appears to have seeds and little red bits. (If I had to guess, it looks like a cheesy dip with bacon, maybe some corn, & pepper seeds!) Is this just the way it looks when you blend? Hopefully, so! I just want to make sure I’m not missing something.
Hi Lisa,
You just reminded me that I should probably update this recipe! It’s old but has been getting tons of press on Huffington Post lately.
So … I made this with the chunky sriracha that you buy in a jar with the twist off lid, rather than the stuff in a bottle that you squeeze out. It will work great with whichever kind you have in your fridge though!
Great idea about giving it away as gifts btw. I love homemade gifts for Christmas and was actually thinking of giving away some homemade sriracha myself š
So are the pics above of the butter? It looks like some yummy crunchy casserole that I would love the recipe to.
If you like Sriracha butter you ought to try Sriracha Mayo….I mix it 50-50 with Cains in a restaurant style catsup bottle that lives in my fridge I can’t make a sandwich without it.
That sounds amazing!
Next time I make a sandwich there’s going to be sriracha mayo on it š
New York here. What a great gift you are. I love this stuff and have always had a bottle but very few ideas about its use so the butter is being made tomorrow. Love to get some of your recipes if you’d be so kind. My bottle just sits there in the fridge with a saucy smile daring me to put it to use so finding you is a real godsend plus you look very spicy your self.
Maybe I should just move to Irwindale for the atmosphere!
What a great site!
OMG, you are a genius!!! Love this idea and love your pictures, gorgeous.
Hey Emily,
Thank you so much!! It’s pretty hard to go wrong with srircha, I love that stuff! š
Sounds like a great way to use up extra Sriracha – I found a recipe for making Srirach oil (basically fill an empty, non-washed bottle full of oil) and have been looking for ways to eat through my bottle so I can make it!
Sriracha oil sounds awesome! I will definitely have to try that once the bottle in the fridge is empty š
You love sriracha. A woman after my own heart. I buy mine at Costco, two big 740ml bottles for $8.00 or something like that. I’ve got some recipes I’d love to share with you, do you have an email I can send them to?
Hey Doug,
Costco is awesome for buying huge quantities of things you love. I’ll be hunting down sriracha next time I’m there š
I always love new recipes. That’s super great of you to share some of yours with me! My email address is kristen@theendlessmeal.com
