At some point they kind of blend into cat siap betang or cat siap manis or, ketchup!
Then there are the chutneys and that is a whole 'nuther can of veggies and spices.
If you really want to get into some hot stuff learn the SE Asian vocabularies for spicy dishes and sauces ~ in all 4 or 5 of the main languages ~ Thai, Bhassa, Hokien, Dutch and English. ~ Be Prepared ~ and order coca cola as the all purpose emergency standby because when water or beer won't work (to cool the chilis) coke will.
All I know is I ask the old chinese guys for chili oil and they smile and spoon it on
That is funny, Ketchup is basically a fine pureed chutney isn’t it?
