Auntie Khar Imm’s Chile Sauce
The author Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan’s family serves this simple chile sauce with everything; its heat and tartness complement this Singaporean braised duck nicely. It’s very hot, though, so feel free to add more citrus and sugar to suit your taste. It can keep for weeks, refrigerated.
