> In 2017, Huy Fong sued Underwood Ranches, claiming they had been overcharged for the previous year's harvest. Underwood countersued, alleging breach of contract and fraud. Ultimately, a jury found in Underwood's favor, ordering Huy Fong to pay the farmer $23.3 million in damages.
Community Reviews
Huy Fong chili garlic sauce is treated as a versatile pantry staple for pho, tofu and veggie stir fry, green beans, rotisserie chicken, and quesadillas. The price also looks attractive, with comments calling it cheaper than Costco and Walmart and noting the Amazon price seems typical. The main drawback is the brand controversy around Underwood Ranch and changing peppers, with repeated claims that the flavor no longer matches the original Sriracha profile. A few alternatives come up, including Underwood Ranches Sriracha and sambal oelek, for anyone chasing the older taste.
Common Questions (4)
It works well in pho, tofu and veggie stir-fry, fresh snapped green beans, Costco rotisserie chicken, and quesadillas. It is also a staple condiment for adding garlic-chili heat to everyday meals.
It may not taste the same as the original Sriracha pepper version because the peppers are now described as different and imported rather than sourced from Underwood Ranches. Some still notice little flavor change, while others say the closest match to the original is Underwood Ranches Sriracha.
Sambal oelek is described as similar and even better, and Underwood Ranches Sriracha is suggested as the closest replacement for the original Huy Fong flavor. One commenter also asked for a version without gums and preservatives, but no specific alternative was named for that requirement.
The listed Amazon price is described as the usual price, and it is also called cheaper than Costco and Walmart. A separate comment notes a 49¢ discount on the item.

And then the old huy fong founder's kids grew up. Probably based on shit they learned watching The Apprentice, they decided they could make even more money by screwing the old pepper farmer over. They knew he was used to that handshake contract being good as gold, and would take on loans to start planting based on the promise that 100% of his crop would be bought by Huy Fong, as per their contract.
So they made the handshake contract. He borrowed tons as he always did (farming has lots of up front costs), and then at the last minute they started their own pepper growing company and told the old farmer he had a choice: sell to the Huy Fong kids, or go belly up.
The old farmer surprised them. Not only did he refuse to sell, but he sued them for breach of contract. And he won. Tens of millions of dollars, because a handshake contract is still a contract. Guess the Huy Fong kids didn't learn that on The Apprentice.
Also, this is the reason there was a "sriracha shortage" a few years back. Huy Fong gambled that it could get the old farmer's specialty pepper growing operation, and when he refused to be screwed over, they had no pepper supply.

I tried, Underwood Ranches Sriracha and it is probably the closest to the original sriracha sauce we all know, because the peppers are locally sourced.
Nice knowing you, David, great job ruining it.

The original pepper farmers (Underwood Ranches) started making their own Sriracha using the peppers Hoy Fong lost access to. It's a black label with a gold dragon on it just labeled Sriracha.
