capsicum Sauce/ Chili Sauce Any Chinese grocery store. It's simply crushed, red-hot peppers in soybean oil. You can make it yourself. Do you encounter anyone from Taiwan or anyone who does business in Taiwan? Have them bring over a jar. It can be found in ANY 7-11 or night market or grocery store/hypermart. GREAT stuff. Usually, local shops call refer to it as "capsicum sauce" in English, rather than the easier, more telling: hot chili sauce.   From the land of 24-hour dumpling stalls loaded with delicious capsicum sauce at EVERY venue, In Taiwan posted by anon_InTaiwanNovember 28, 2002 at 6:28 [ e ]

are you talking about this? http://www.huyfong.com/no_fr ames/sriracha.htm posted by anon_kimNovember 29, 2002 at 12:12 [ e ]

sriracha sauce I don't think that's the sauce I usually find at dim sum places although I find that sauce at all the hundreds of pho places in LA.  I bought some but a different brand last time i went to dim sum.  I was good but not the same   It could just be because it's a different brand though. posted by greggmanDecember 1, 2002 at 20:52 [ e ]

sambal oelek or lian how brand http://www.asianwok.com/  Is it this stuff? posted by anon_dokiDecember 3, 2002 at 16:47 [ e ]

dude... it's ra-yu In chinese you call it layou, and in japanese it's ra-yu (ラーユ)(辣油 in kanji...).  It basically means 'hot oil' and it rocks. ;) You should be able to get it if you ask for it...  They always use it to make the sauce for gyoza, along with shoyu and vinegar...  You can also pick it up in the supermarkets by that name. posted by torokunDecember 4, 2002 at 19:18 [ e ]

Recommended chilli sauce for those dumplings try YEO's Sweet Chilli Sauce available in most supermarkets, it goes well with every dim sum dish, try it let me know what u think. Phil posted by anon_PhilMarch 2, 2003 at 19:27 [ e ]

No Yeo's in Balmer I used to buy Yeo's in Silver Spring MD when I lived there but can't seem to find it in Baltimore.   I'm sure the huge Asian supermarket in Catosnville will have it if I'm ever nearby.   I used to make barbecue sauce with Kraft's or Open Pit as a base, and add roughly equal parts of Yeo's Hot and Sweet chili sauces, plus a little vinegar.   The Sweet is also good on hard-boiled eggs. posted by anon_CaptainYeoMarch 16, 2003 at 12:31 [ e ]

Sriracha! Though sriracha is not the same as the chili paste that you found at the dim sum place, it'd quickly work in a pinch in terms of flavor and heat.  ^^  The texture is definitely different, and sriracha is a little easier to use in other foods (works great in all sorts of noddles!). posted by anon_CantoneseInSeattleMarch 31, 2003 at 19:19 [ e ]

Yeah, you probably mean Sriracha Sauce. Having been to Sriracha in Thailand I can say that there are a lot of types of Sriracha Sauce that are just cheap knockoffs.  The stuff in LA is made by Vietnamese people who probably don't even know where Sriracha is.  At least, that's what I was told in Sriracha, but I actually don't know anything about that.  I just know that Sriracha Sauce (the legit stuff) kicks butt on basically any other sweet chilli sauce I've ever tasted. posted by anon_kainoiJune 5, 2003 at 19:28 [ e ]
