Chile pastes and sauces are a type of condiment made by grinding chile peppers and a variety of other ingredients.
Characteristics
All chile pastes and sauces are made of ground chiles.[1] As such, they are typically at least mildly spicy. Common additions include oil, vinegar, citrus, spices, garlic, starches, and seafood.[2] The primary difference between chile sauce and paste is consistency[3]—chile paste tends to be thicker and less moist than chile sauce, and a paste can be easily thinned to produce a sauce.[1]
