-> This might well be either a sambal oelek (chile paste) or chile garlic -> sauce, x No, those are different. The Chinese and Vietnamese both make a thick paste (not sauce) of nothing but red chiles or red chiles and a little pureed (not chunky as in the chile-garlic sauce) garlic; no other seasonings. They come in plastic tubs, not cans, and they're wonderful. x Rain @@@@ \\\\\
