I love ALL chilli sauces. Most often I use my classic Sichuan hot chilli oil to add heat and flavour. However, when I can get my hands on fresh red and green chillies, I love to make this Fresh Raw Chilli Sauce. It is really spicy, fragrant and can be used in so many ways.
A simple recipe
Aside from the chillies, there are only a couple of other ingredients. As with my classic chilli oil, I want the taste of the fresh chillies to be the focus. So the type of chillies you pick is important because it determines the spice levels and pungency of the sauce.
There are many ways to use this fresh raw chilli sauce.
1. Eat it straight up with white rice or noodles or on top of a boiled egg, for a quick and super spicy meal.
2 Add chopped green onions and cilantro to a bit of the sauce and turn it into a dipping salsa for meats like lamb.
3. Add a spoon or 2 to stir frys to amp up the heat factor.
4. Use it as a part of a marinade for a spicy grilled chicken or pork.
