I did that until I discovered the Lao Gan Ma (Old Godmother) brand of chili sauce.

It’s just too good to care.

Is this the stuff with the little garlic bulbs in it? What’s a fair price to pay?

They have a couple different flavors. My favorite is the one with peanuts in it. I don’t recall seeing garlic bulbs.

It looks like this:

At Asian supermarkets, they should be less than $5. I usually see them them at Ranch 99 (a Chinese chain supermarket) for 3.99.

But the price can vary if you go to a predominantly Korean or Vietnamese supermarket.
