Beautiful chilli jam! The only diference I make is to fry the garlic and onion first then process it along with everything else before cooking it all together. I also use peanut oil instead of veg oil and I put abit of fish sauce or good quality soy sauce to liven up the flavour even more. This is one of the best asian stir-fry sauces, it is a favourite with everyone I have served it to. I stirfry vegetables (mushrooms, tofu, lettuce, celery, zucchini, snow peas etc) in peanut oil then I add this mix this sauce with abit of sweet soy sauce and mix it with the stirfried veg.

Living in Australia means we get to savour different cuisines and it's so much fun trying new things, only sometimes no-one else wants to try them with me:( I like music, art, singing (much to the chagrin of those around me), hiking, writing and most definitely shopping!
