Sesame Chili Sauce

Sweet, spicy, and just a bit nutty, this Sesame Chili Sauce is a simple yet delicious addition to everything from noodles to salmon to sliced veggies. It serves perfectly as a dip or condiment for dumplings, spring rolls, or fried tofu. Conversely, you can also top it over things like ramen or rice noodles, or use it as a marinade fish such as salmon or shark. It can also serve as a light salad dressing for mixed greens.

Best of all, however, is that this delightful little sauce mixes up in just minutes flat. This sauce uses just six simple, easy-to-find ingredients- all affordable, and readily available at your local supermarket. We’re combining soy sauce, chili garlic sauce (similar to sambal chili paste), sugar, sesame oil, vinegar, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Mix it together, and you're done.

Now, without further delay, let’s mix some sauce.
