Chili sauce and paste

Okay kiddo, do you know what chili peppers are? They are little veggies that can be really spicy! Sometimes grownups like to make them into a sauce or a paste.

Now, let me explain the difference between chili sauce and chili paste. Chili sauce is runny and kind of like ketchup, but it has a spicy taste. It's usually made with chili peppers, vinegar, sugar, and some other flavors like garlic or ginger. People put it on foods to add spice and flavor, like on burgers or eggs.

Chili paste, on the other hand, is thick and spreadable, like peanut butter but made of chili peppers. It's usually made of just peppers and sometimes a little bit of salt. People use it in cooking to add heat and flavor to dishes like stir-fries or soups.

So, chili sauce is like a spicy ketchup that you put on top of food, and chili paste is like a spicy peanut butter that you mix into food while you're cooking it. Both can be really tasty if you like spicy foods!
