Thai Barbecue Sauce Recipe

Homemade thai barbecue sauce, also known as sweet chili sauce, is easy to make and far superior to store-bought varieties. It's a dark, tangy-sweet sauce that can be used as a marinade, stir-fry sauce, or dipping sauce, and has just enough spice to give meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, ribs, veggies, or just plain old burgers a flavor boost. Brush it on salmon or shrimp while grilling for a taste sensation. The sauce is made with common thai ingredients like oyster sauce, fish sauce, and fresh or dried thai red chili (bird's eye chili pepper) that can be found in the international aisle of most grocery stores or at an asian market. The beauty of this flavorful sauce is that its heat level can be adjusted by using more or less of the red chili pepper. Double this recipe so you will have enough to drizzle over the finished dish before serving. It's also delicious over rice or potatoes.
