Everything goes better with Garlic and Chili's!


Today's food tip is one of the best things I have found to spice up any savory dish you might care to make. It is Huy Fong Foods garlic chili sauce. A mere teaspoon of this is like rocket fuel. Add it to your tomato sauce or use it when you are sauteing chicken or pork. Add it to a stir fry. Man the heat and flavor this throws off is unbelievable. Now you have to very careful how much you use because it is really overpowering so don't go crazy the first time you use it. Be judicious in it's use and you will have found one of the most useful flavor added sauces in your cupboard.

You can generally find it in the oriental foods section of your bigger grocery stores or I guess you can get it direct from the company. But trust me, it will really enhance the flavor of you roasts and meat dishes immeasurably.

I've been using that stuff for years. It is the absolute best. I make dips with it and use it to spice up tomato sauce or other sauces. Mix it with honey for a chicken or pork glaze too.

I ran out of my usual, Crystal hot sauce, and have been using this stuff for a couple of weeks. It reminds me of Crystal in that it has as much flavor as heat. For me, Tabasco has heat, but not much flavor. So I am enjoying this stuff big time.

My best friend taught me something about Crystal: it has a heat threshold. It simply will not get past a certain heat no matter how much you shake on! This is great for wings.
