For a smoother sauce, use a blender or immersion blender after simmering. Adjust the amount of chile-garlic sauce and red pepper flakes to control the spice level. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Try using natural peanut butter for a richer flavor. This sauce also works well as a marinade for tofu or tempeh.
