Condiment
Chilli Garlic Sauce
A tier
Chilli garlic sauce is a chunky East-SE Asian table paste: garlic, chilli, often sugar and vinegar (sambal oelek-adjacent or more garlicky). It is a condiment you can see, not a thin dash. A spoon in a noodle wok. Louisiana thin sauce is the wrong texture.

Chilli garlic stayed the noodle-wok spoon beside thin hot sauces.
