Thai chili sauce

Fiery Asian dressing

Thai chili sauce is a sweet, spicy, and tangy condiment made from red chilies, garlic, sugar, and vinegar.

The most common variety is the bright red sauce served with spring rolls and fried foods, sometimes called sweet chili sauce.

Sriracha, though Thai in origin, has become its own category.

I always ask for extra Thai chili sauce with my egg rolls.
