A good rule of thumb is to use a two-to-one ratio of butter to sriracha.
So, if you melt two tablespoons of butter, mix in one tablespoon of Sriracha.
Always give it a taste and adjust it according to your palate.
If its too spicy, add more butter.
If its not spicy enough, add more sriracha.
Hoisin sauce adds a bit of balancing sweetness.
A squirt of lime juice brightens the popcorn, too, complementing the flavors of the Sriracha.
Popcorn that tastes like pho, whats not to like?
It adds another layer of richness and flavor.
