With just garlic, ginger, and fresh peppers as the main ingredients, we will make the best garlic chili sauce for noodles, or as a zest for Asian stir fries. After this recipe, a steamed oyster with this garlic chili sauce will be shared too. That’s my favorite way of using this sauce- over different types of steamed dishes.
