Notes

The iconic maker of sriracha, Huy Fong Foods makes a chili paste (sambal oelek) that is also extremely popular. It’s what I reach for when I want to add a last-minute kick to a dish. They have a chili garlic sauce in almost identical packaging, and either product works well for the recipes in this book.

Substitute: An equal amount of Calabrian chili paste; or harissa: start with 1/2 the amount and increase to taste, as harissa pastes can vary in spice
