Sriracha has become a kitchen-cabinet classic in recent years. The combination of chili pepper, garlic and a mild acidity makes it a sauce that goes with everything — from stir-fries to bowls, from eggs to noodles. The only downside of the classic version? That generous dash of sugar that is almost always in it.

Sriracha Cha Cha fixes that. Our low calorie sriracha is sugar-free, fat-free and contains only 3 kcal per serving. The heat is definitely there — jalapeño peppers, garlic and a subtle acidity from vinegar provide a flavor profile that is familiar, but without the sugar bomb. Just a spicy sauce you can use every day.

What is Sriracha Cha Cha?

Sriracha Cha Cha is our interpretation of the classic sriracha: a sauce based on jalapeño peppers, garlic, vinegar and sea salt. No added sugars, no fat, but plenty of flavor. At 3 kcal per serving it is one of the lightest sauces in the Natural Zero line.

The sauce is versatile — suitable for both cold and hot use. As a dip, as a finishing touch over a dish, as an ingredient in a marinade or dressing. The texture is fluid enough to drizzle, thick enough to work as a dipping sauce.

Nutritional values compared

Per 15g serving:

• Sriracha Cha Cha: ~3 kcal | 0g fat | 0g sugar | sugar-free, fat-free

• Classic sriracha (average): ~20–25 kcal | 0g fat | 3–4g sugar per serving

• Other spicy sauces with sugar: 15–40 kcal depending on the brand

Tip: The difference is largely in the sugar content. Classic sriracha typically contains several grams of sugar per serving — Sriracha Cha Cha does not.

Who is Sriracha Cha Cha for?

For everyone who loves heat and also wants to eat consciously. Specifically a good choice if you:

• love sriracha but want to consume less sugar

• follow a low-carb or keto diet

• eat vegan — Sriracha Cha Cha contains no animal ingredients

• simply want a spicy sauce that fits every meal, without having to think about it

The sauce is also suitable for people watching their fat intake, as it is completely fat-free.

Three ways to use Sriracha Cha Cha

1. Spicy mayo in one minute

Mix one tablespoon of Nice to Mayo with one teaspoon of Sriracha Cha Cha. Stir and you immediately have a creamy spicy mayo — ideal with sushi, poke bowls, tacos or as a dip for vegetable sticks. Both sauces are sugar-free and low calorie, so they combine effortlessly.

2. Sriracha glaze for airfryer chicken

Mix Sriracha Cha Cha with a splash of Tasty Teriyaki and a little garlic powder. Brush over chicken thighs or wings and place them in the airfryer at 200°C for 20 minutes. The result: crispy chicken with a sticky, spicy layer — and a fraction of the calories of a classic glaze.

3. Finishing touch over noodles or rice

Make a quick noodle soup or fried rice and drizzle a generous amount of Sriracha Cha Cha over it at the end. The heat of the dish activates the flavors of the jalapeño and garlic even more. Optionally add some Sticky Korean Kiss for an umami layer underneath.

Tip: Sriracha Cha Cha also works well in dressings. Mix it with a bit of rice vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce for a quick Asian salad dressing.
