What is Chili Garlic Sauce?
It's a chili sauce made with chili peppers, garlic, rice vinegar, and salt. It has Chinese and Vietnamese origins.
What does it taste like?
It has a spicy, tangy, and garlicky flavor. Some say it's like Sriracha, but it's thicker and has visible bits of chili pepper and seeds.
My favorite brand is Lee Kum Kee and Huy Fong. Their sauces have a mild spice but tons of garlickyness.
How to use it?
It's perfect as a dip for spring rolls, dumplings, and other dim sum foods. It's also a great stir-fry sauce for meats, fish, vegetables, and noodles.
