About

This very popular sauce is frequently served throughout meals in Hong Kong. Since the chilli is mild, the bite is less strong. It is used for dipping cooked fresh prawns, as well as cooked poultry or meats. I find it delicious with almost any dish.

Method

Combine the chilli pepper, onions and soy sauces in a dish. Heat the oil in a small pan until it is almost smoking and pour this over the chilli-onion mixture. Allow the sauce to stand at least 10 minutes before serving. This sauce can be made up to 2 hours in advance.
