Note, this recipe does not call for plain chili sauce, but rather garlic
chili sauce, which is often used in Asian cuisine. It is a combination of
ground chilies and garlic and adds a little heat and another layer of
flavor to the dish. The smoother, more familiar Sriracha sauce can be
substituted in a pinch.
