This Sriracha Popcorn has freshly popped corn kernels drench in Sriracha, butter, and calamansi sauce….
This is what’s so good even if we just had a start of “A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week” (taken from the movie Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day).
Well, that’s according to Ykaie since our Sunday started with her being sick. I don’t want to elaborate but peanutbutter♥ and I had little to no sleep nursing Ykaie back to health until monday night. The following day when she recovered from her illness, I was surprised to see sore eyes!
I was mostly offline since last Sunday. Yesterday I was offline the whole day, bonding with my daughter. We had a GRIMM Season 4 marathon. Have I told you that GRIMM is our favorite series of all time? Yup, but we stopped watching since episode 5 because we got busy with school, work, and mommy things. I guess with Ykaie being sick and all, we finally had time to catch up.
Yes, I had Sriracha Popcorn while Ykaie had ripe mangoes and oranges to munch on while watching Nick Burkhardt get his Grimm back and Juliet become a Hexenbiest.
You know, I used to be in love with chips and dip as movie food but now, I prefer popcorn. I love those movie theater popcorn that’s drenched with butter and more butter. But if I make popcorn at home, I prefer flavors that can’t be found anywhere else. Why Sriracha you might ask. Well, we always have a bottle of Sriracha in the fridge — Yes, we are Sriracha loving people and we put it on food that needs a little zing.
And Sriracha + Butter + Calamansi + Popcorn seems like a great idea. It’s actually a delicious idea.
Ykaie is okay now and we are ready for school tomorrow.

Oh… the poor little sweetie. It’s so hard when they don’t feel well, isn’t it? I’m so glad she’s better. And Sriracha on popcorn?? I think you are my new favorite blogger!! Pure brilliance.
Thanks Kim!
What a great idea Peachy…I love it! So simple and yet the Sriracha add a great punch to the popcorn.
Hope you are enjoying your week 🙂
Thanks Juliana!
This is too hot for me, but I know my brother and the boys will love it.
Oh I’m sure they will.
Love the first picture! Sorry Ykaie was feeling bad, but it seems that you two made the most of it. Between Grimm and this popcorn, sounds like a wonderful afternoon!
She’s okay now and indeed it was a beautiful afternoon. I think it helped her feel well.

Definitely love the zing on this one. Yum!

Thanks Raymund!
My mom uses this stuff in her spicy potatoes with Portuguese sausage. I’ll have to try it with popcorn.
I’m absolutely sure you’ll love it.
I love popcorn especially when watching series or movies. The Sriracha flavor would make this even better.
Yes, it absolutely does
Not a fan or sriracha but my friend would enjoy this. I love popcorn because it so versatile with the things you can add to it.
It’s true, you can add anything to popcorn!
I have actually never tried Sriracha before. I hear lots of buzz about it, but never actually had any. I need to try it because it seems like something I would like.
Are you into spicy food? If you are, then you’ll love Sriracha
Ahh, sriracha. One of my husband’s favorite spicy accouterments. My toddler is not a fan, when he talks about it he says, “daddy likes spicy sauce, but I don’t.” Oh well. We’re working him up incrementally. Other than spicy foods, he is very willing to try new things.
My husband is crazy about sriracha too!
This looks delicious. I am the only one in my house that likes sriracha though.
Really? They don’t like spicy food?
I really never thought its possible! Now I have something cool to try! Thank you so much!
Thanks Angelo!
What?? Why did I not think of that combo? I love pop corn and certainly love sriracha, I will try this for sure. Hope Ykaei will feel better soon!
Thanks mommy Rose, she’s ok now.
That sauce is unbelievable hot but I love it, love it! Love it on meats too.
Same her. love this sauce!
I wonder if sriracha and chocolate would be a good combo. I feel like there’s something I would want to mix this with to tone down the spiciness, but I don’t know what. Chocolate is always my go-to for popcorn toppings lol.
Oh gosh! it’s something I would try! Chocolate and Sriracha!
I can’t believe I haven’t tried this yet! Thanks for the suggestion, sounds delicious.
You’re welcome.
Even though I can’t eat sriracha (simply because I can’t take the heat, lol!), this looks and sounds amazing! My husband would love this!
I’m sure he will.
I was just thinking about getting popcorn and have a movie marathon here with the kids. 🙂
Oh, I don’t think the kids will like this.
Well this is just AMAZING! I’m going to need to recreate this one since we just love sriracha!
I think everybody loves Sriracha!
The Sriracha popcorn looks good. I love spicy foods. Will try it this Holy Week.
I’m sure you’ll like it.
My husband bought sriracha in S&R pero naexpire na lang di niya naubos. hehehe! We’re not really into spicy foods kasi.
Sayang naman.
Sayang nga, no small sizes kasi sa S&R. I’m not sure if I can buy sriracha in other supermarket.
yes you can. There’s one at Landmark.
Peachy, this post makes me want to go to the grocery and buy sriracha and popcorn 🙂
I’m sure you’ll love this.
I am totally going to try this now! I love popcorn and sriracha! I never really thought about trying different things on my popcorn at home. Thanks for the idea!
You’re welcome.
How in the world have I never thought to add sriracha to popcorn?!? What a fantastic idea!

I am not really a fan of popcorns but I am all out in trying something new. I have to let my kids try this.

This might be too spicy for them.

I’m sure you’ll love this Sarah!
This is a nice twist 🙂 Would definitely try it for one of our movie nights 🙂
You’ll love this.
Calamansi and popcorn?! Interesting. 🙂
Yes! Delicious!
My brother uses sriracha like crazy when he cooks chicken dishes. I will have to ask him if he’s ever tried it on popcorn.
Oh I bet he has.
That is a flavor mix I haven’t heard of yet. It is one too that I would love to try!
I’m sure you’ll like it.
I love popcorn but I haven’t tried this sriracha popcorn at all. What a nice idea.

heehee.. Thanks Mila!
Oh no! Haha I’m not a fan of Sriracha! But I’ve tried putting chocolate on popcorn when at the movie house ;D
Will try putting chocolate next time.
My husband and I both love hot and spicy snacks and we always have a bottle of sriracha in the fridge. I will definitely be trying this the next time we get the snack munchies!
Cheers to Sriracha!
When I read the title, my first thought on Sriracha was a food shop name as I haven’t heard of it before. Haha Thanks of sharing, I suddenly missed eating popcorn. hehe
..and good to know your kid is fine now, God Bless! 🙂
Thanks Rose!
I’ve never tried sriracha before. Time to look for it in the grocery! By the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Grimm! Glad to find a fellow Grimm addict. 🙂
Oh my! We super love Grimm!
yummy pop i want it right now . . a perfect partner while making financial reports
It sure is!
I haven’t had sriracha popcorn before, but it sounds like a great idea. Ma-try nga!
I’m sure you’ll like it.
Wow! what a combintion.. will surely try this one!
Thanks Dianne!
I had popcorn with a red sauce on it and lime juice on it when I went to Mexico, but I don’t remember if it was Siracha sauce. This sounds super yummy!
Thanks Shannon!
I haven’t seen a Sriracha bottle yet. Can I substitute a bottle of hot sauce (any other brand) instead?
Nope. Sriracha has this unique distinct flavor that is addictive!
I think this is something I can do. The recipe looks really simple (for your skill level, of course) but you never fail to impress me with your food and your photography as well.
And I hope Ykaie’s better now. 🙂
Thanks Pam! Yes, Ykaie’s better…
What a novel idea! I wonder how it tastes like. I guess I’d have to make mine to find out. 🙂
Thanks! I’m sure you’ll like it.
This is genius! I should try putting Sriracha on my daughter’s thumb too to make her stop thumbsucking. Hehehe!
★★★★★
LOL! Thanks!
wow! Popcorn is one of my dad’s favorite! You added a little twist to it and i’m definitely giving this a try! 🙂
I’m sure you’ll love it Nhessie!
I can’t have sriracha it gives me the worst heartburn known to man. I hope your child feels better too.
Awww, that’s too bad Natalie. Thanks!
Sriracha popcorn sounds and looks really good, but I’m not very good with spicy food. It might be something my husband would go for though. Love popcorn at home too, mostly we get just the buttered ones, would love to try experimenting on flavors too. Would a little truffle oil be good?
Oh yes it will! I love truffle oil popcorn as well.
This idea of the SRIRACHA POPCORN is a must-try. Not just the regular and cheese flavor.
Yes it is!
Wow Peach! This is a great idea. I love popcorn!
Thanks Mayen
i haven’t tried that sauce before but my kids do love popcorn and we make it quite often at home.
This sauce is spicy so it’s not for kids.
Great idea! We also love popcorn… will try this 🙂
★★★★
Hope you’ll like it.

Thanks linnor!
Thanks for sharing your recipe! It’s been a while since I had a popcorn at home and it’s just the plain popcorn with butter. Now I have a new one to try!
you’re welcome Analyn!
Love this new popcorn recipe however I would like to know about the exact measurement of a one bag popcorn (cooked) in terms of grams or cup (8oz)…just want to come out with the perfect taste from your recipe. -Macy
Just use the regular microwaveable bag. I think they’re all the same size.
Sarap naman. 🙂
Yummy! I love popcorn but I haven’t thought of adding other flavours apart from the basic ones before.
You’ll like this if you love spicy food.
Masarap ito sa movie watching! 🙂
