Sriracha Spherification Caviar
Report
Made with just five ingredients, this Sriracha caviar is a fun and simple way to elevate any dish. We use molecular gastronomy techniques (I know that sounds complicated, but it's truly so easy to do) to create these little flavor pearls, perfect for sprinkling over salads, eggs, or pasta!

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 Tbsp agar-agar
- 1 cup cold canola oil
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
- Place oil in a tall glass and chill in freezer until a bit sludgy (about 3 hours).
- In a small saucepan, bring sriracha, 1/4 cup water, and agar-agar to a slow simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. If mixture begins to smoke, remove pan from stove, reduce heat, then continue cooking.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and pour mixture into a small bowl.
- Draw sriracha mixture into your medicine dropper tool. Drop sriracha solution, one droplet at a time, into cold oil from about 5 inches above the surface of the oil.
- When you’ve used all your sriracha mixture, strain the caviar by pouring the oil + caviar glass over either a perforated or wire mesh spoon or bowl.
- Place strained caviars into bowl of ice water to remove remaining oil, then strain from water and serve!
Notes
- Keep cold oil on hand: You may want to keep a reserve glass of oil in the freezer in case the sriracha droplets begin to heat your cold oil. If you notice your caviars are starting to turn out funky, grab your spare cold oil and keep on going.
- Work quickly! As the sriracha mixture cools, the caviar strays further from the perfectly round form you want.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use to garnish any dish from eggs to Bloody Marys.
