Sriracha is everywhere: potato chips, fast food chains, probably an answer on Jeopardy at this point. But there is a reason behind the hipness and hype; Sriracha is a tasty and versatile hot sauce. Here, we combine the heat with garlic sesame sauce and use the resulting spoon-licking perfection to cook sugar snap peas and sweet potato. Served with avocado, this meal is hip and happening, with just the right amount of spice. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice the remaining sweet potato.
