People all across the globe love Asian food because of its great taste with a bit of spicy hint. Chilli sauces are on of the most favorable condiments of Asian cuisine. Sometimes these sauces are used as dipping and sometimes people use them as a part of their recipe.

One of the popular sauces widely used in Thai cuisine is called the Nam Chim which is a spicy Thai dipping sauce. Its a tasty blend of chilli peppers, lemon juice, garlic, fish sauce, sugar and shrimp paste. The taste is so authentic that you'll fall in love with it. The consistency of this sauce is a bit watery not very thick but it doesn't taste watery at all.

It goes well with fresh vegetables as well as grilled meat or fish dishes. You will not find this sauce in the supermarkets because it has to be made fresh every time because if you make it and try to conserve the sauce, it wouldn't taste the same at all. Usually people make it in their homes whenever they need it or it is served in restaurants, freshly made.

Nuoc Cham is another favorable dipping sauce originating from Vietnam. Fish sauce is used as a base for making it and it tastes great with fried food items like spring rolls, fried chicken and many more items. To add spiciness to the sauce, crushed or chopped green chillies are added right at the end. Other ingredients used include sugar, vinegar, fish sauce and sugar.

Sambal Oelek, which was originally derived from Indonesia is now popular all around the world. There are many countries widely manufacturing bottle versions of their own. Traditionally, all ingredients are mashed up in a stone mortar but the production or large scale means, the ingredients are mashed up in big machines. The common ingredients used include red peppers, garlic, lime, sugar and salt.

Indonesian sauces are hitting the business in a prominent way and another mixed bag that is turning into individuals' most loved is Sambal Teraso. Once more, all the fixings are pounded up to shape a glue utilizing a customary mortar and the fixings utilized are paste of shrimps, shallots, garlic, sugar limes and salt. The shrimp glue adds an exceptionally sharp taste to this sauce.

A sauce that you will find in almost every Vietnamese restaurant is Sriracha. The ingredients that are used for this sauce are completely the same as for Sambal Oelek but after crushing all the ingredients together, they are put in a sieve and a smooth paste comes out which doesn't contain any seeds and looks very smooth in appearance. People tend to love this particular variety.

A traditional Thai sauce mostly used as a condiment with fried dishes is the sweet Thai chilli sauce. As compared to other varieties, this sauce may not taste that spicy but the sweet and spicy combination does make it standout among the rest. It is easily available in supermarkets.
