Impress Your Main Squeeze With This Simple & Delicious Sriracha-Infused V-Day Menu
Um, that’s hot.
Whether you’re a die-hard Valentine’s Day stan or skew more ‘meh’ when it comes to the so-called holiday of love, we can all agree that by the middle of February, we’re in desperate need of something to look forward to. And in our opinion, nothing clears up those sad winter vibes like a hot and spicy St. Valentine-approved meal you can enjoy without having to change out of your sweatpants.
That said, if you’re spending February 14 with your SO or a particularly ~spicy~ date, you can certainly get dressed to the nines for dinner at home. And if you’re celebrating with your go-to group of girlies, staying in means unlimited bottle service, full control of the playlist, and no judge-y onlookers rudely displaying their jealousy at all the fun you’re having.
Another reason we’re choosing to toast to love at home this year? Lee Kum Kee’s hot-as-hell three-course dinner menu made with plenty of the iconic brand’s Sriracha Chili Sauce and Sriracha Mayo (creamy, spicy partners in crime). That’s right, the geniuses behind the condiments you can’t get enough of are here with the hot girl dinner of your dreams.
And they’ve thought of everything. A fruity, spicy cocktail, a little zingy app (or ‘hors d'oeuvre,’ if you’re nasty), a sexy main number, and — duh — a chili-infused chocolate dessert. So whether you’re ready to rage with your main squeeze (heh, get it?), your spicy squad, or simply your fiery-ass self, check out these impressive (and impressively easy) recipes that will bring the heat.
1. The Spicy Marg Of Your Dreams
To set the mood, you’ll want to prep these spicy sriracha margaritas packed with staples lurking in your bar cart and crisper drawer (see: tequila and fresh strawberries). And this isn’t your basic spicy marg — this version features Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce to bring the perfect amount of unexpected heat to that sweet you know and love. Rim the glass in sugar, pop a rogue strawberry on the side, and cheers to your cute selves (or self!).
2. On-Brand Hot Tuna Bites
For those who like it hot (and really, don’t we all?), this simple heart-shaped appetizer is a must. With the umami deliciousness of ahi tuna, crispy rice, and heat-forward Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo and Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce, these little bites are actually addicting.
And, what, like it’s hard? Just make the rice a day in advance, mix up the tuna and drool-worthy sauce, then garnish like you do this for a living.
3. A Main Course Worthy Of Your Main Squeeze
This is not your basic chicken entree. This beautiful chicken piccata — featuring a little somethin’ somethin’, compliments of Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce — takes the starring role in this menu. You’ll need a few grocery staples, like pasta, butter, parm, chicken breast, lemons, and, of course, Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce. Up the fancy factor with capers, parsley, white wine, and Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic.
You’ll kick off by coating that piece of meat in flour, frying it in butter (drool), and whipping up a super easy, spicy, lemony sauce. Plate with pasta and top with parsley like it’s NBD. Look at you go!
4. A Dessert That Doesn’t Disappoint
OK, if you’re new here, we like things spicy — and our chocolate is no exception. To keep it interesting until the very end, whip up these instantly iconic chocolate chili brownies. With coffee, three kinds of chocolate, and Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce and Chili Crisp Oil, these brownies do not come to play. We’re ending with a bang, baby. Enjoy one (or the whole pan) alongside a post-dinner marg for the ultimate ode to St. Valentine. Cheers!
