Smokey Sriracha Ketchup

A little darker and redder, ketchup with seriuos flavors.

Veggie burger and salad for dinner most nights, hits the spot. Still I need something flavorific to get it all down. Sometimes its dressing, but often its mustard, ketchup, or mayo for the burger. Last night it had to be something spicy:

Smokey Sriracha Ketchup

3 tblsp ketchup
1/8 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp sriracha
(Sriracha is Thai chili paste, substitute your favorite hot sauce, or 1/8 tsp chili powder)
1 clove of garlic, minced finely
2 drops of liquid smoke.

Mix in a bowl, and its ready.

Smokey sriracha ketchup is an ingredient or two away from being bbq sauce, so use it like either condiment. I had it in the morning on my potatoes, and you bet its awesome on fries. I also like a little on an omelet, but this recipe makes a burger memorable. Be careful with liquid smoke. That stuff is no joke, its smokey, and can take hostage any recipe with its aggressive flavor.
