Ladies and gentlemen (and those who are yet to make up their minds), please allow me to introduce you to my new favourite condiment:
Thai Chili Garlic Sauce Now, for those who know me, you will know that my English/Ukrainian heritage does not lend itself to spicy foods, in fact I'm known to break a sweat from the spicy hotness of ketchup (I'm exaggerating, but only a little... maybe
skaloop got my spicy genes, since he seems to have extra), but this stuff isn't spicy in the least. The chilies are very sweet, and the stuff is chock-full of garlic, and it works well in a TON of recipes to add some awesome flavour.
My newest favourite recipe:
1 salmon fillet
1 cup maple syrup
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp ginger (fresh)
1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
Mix the wet ingredients and pour it over the salmon, bake for 20 minutes at 350F. The sweetness of the syrup with the tanginess of the chilies makes for some good eats.
