I recently received a treasure trove of Chinese Recipes from my Grand Mom, who passed on all her favorite Chinese food recipes to me as we both shared a common passion for cooking. For dinner yesterday, I tried a Chinese combo meal of steamed Chinese Flower buns, Tofu & Mince Meat Curry and home made chilly sauce. Needless to say, the meal rocked 🙂 ……. After tasting this recipe for Chilly sauce, I am never ever going to buy store made chilly sauce again. This can be stored and kept in the fridge for 3-4 months and taste really good with Momos, fried wontons, spring rolls, fried noodles…. or any thing you would want to eat it with. Enjoy 🙂 ~ Kamakshi
