American Chop suey, which basically means a savory mess, is the first thing that comes to my mind with chilli sauce. A bed of crispy noodles topped with and sweet and spicy vegetable gravy is everyone's dream dish come true. Red Chilli Sauce forms an important part of Chinese food. Exotic foods like Crackling rice topped with Manchurian gravy are a delight to have.

Here the chilli sauce is added to the gravy to give it that edge of spiciness.

Who says you can't use chilli sauce to spice up Indian food. Spread some on a roti, paratha or thepla and make a wrap out of it. Methi Thepla Wrap is such an innovation with a potato bhaji stuffing and flavoring coming from the red chilli sauce. It can also be used as a spread on burgers! Even though it might seem odd to some, chilli sauce makes a great spread for a Cheese Stuffed Veggie Burger.

Chilli Sauce recipes for Snacks

The sauce is so versatile that it is also used for making diverse types of snacks from street food of Mumbai to Mexican starters. Red chilli sauce is a very important component for street food in India.

My absolute favorite recipe with it is Schezwan Noodle Frankie. The tanginess and spice form the sauce, the crunchiness from the vegetables and slurpiness from the noodles make this the best. Tostadas are basically fried tacos that are served with a filling of refried beans, sour cream and topped with the fiery chilli sauce.
