Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce: salted chilli, garlic and rice vinegar for a mildly hot, savoury dip, marinade or stir-fry sauce.
Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce is made from salted chilli peppers, dehydrated garlic and rice vinegar, which the brand says gives a mildly hot, savoury taste. Lee Kum Kee describes the heat as balanced, adding a kick without overpowering a dish. The ingredients listed are salted chilli peppers (chilli, salt), water, sugar, rice vinegar, dehydrated garlic, modified corn starch and acetic acid, and the US page declares no major allergens. The brand suggests it as a dipping condiment, mixed into marinades for grilled meats, or as a stir-fry sauce for meat, seafood, vegetables and noodles. In general, a chilli garlic sauce like this is put on the table with dumplings, spring rolls and fried rice, stirred into mayonnaise for a spicy dip, or added to noodle soups. Because it is vinegar-based, it brightens rich dishes. Keep the lid clean and the jar refrigerated after opening.
