I brought to you, the Asian mother sauce, Easy Lemongrass Chili Sauce!!

It can go on anything and everything you possibly can think! Spicy up your ramen or any noodles soups (or just any soup, even creamy soup!), dress up the take out meals (fried rice, noodles, veggies, meats and etc) with a little dollop. Heck, if your food is not as spicy and flavorful as you wanted, just add this easy chili sauce on! You will be in heaven. You’re welcome. Oh, almost forgot to mention you can use this chili sauce as a spread on your cracker/bread, dipping sauce for any sausage, a bit on your sandwich… ah! So good!

And it’s SO EASY to make at home!

Heat oil in a wok or pan over low heat (if you’re using gas stove) to medium low (for electronic stove) heat. I used avocado oil, my recent favorite oil! You can also use vegetable oil, canola oil, sunflower oil or any light in color and flavor oil will do the job!

Meanwhile the oil is slowly heating up, quickly ground garlic and lemongrass in a food processor until fine chunks. If you can’t do this part quickly, go ahead and ready before the oil is heating up.

Add the garlic and lemongrass into the wok- the oil should be hot enough to bubble when garlic and lemongrass goes in but SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE COLOR of the garlic and lemongrass.

Low heat is the key point for this recipe!

This is the wok I’m using for this recipe! It’s cast iron wok and it works the magic!!

Cook the garlic and lemongrass for 5 to 7 minutes.

 Now, roughly chop red chilies 🌶 I’m using large Freznoes and a tiny bit of Thai chilies in red color. Ground red chilies and Thai chilis in the the food processor- size of red pepper flakes.

Stir into the wok.

Add fish sauce, palm sugar, gochugaru and chicken bouillon then stir well until everything is combined. You can use soy sauce instead of the fish sauce and omit the chicken bouillon if you want to make vegan/vegetarian.

Now, cook the chili sauce for 10 minutes and stir occasionally. 

That’s it for this amazing Asian mother sauce, Ultimate Chili Sauce!!

You can use this chili sauce pretty much on/in everything and anything. Soup, ramen, rice, noodles, spread, dipping sauce, toppings… endless!!
