We've appreciated the recipes of Martha Stewart for years, especially starting in 2004 when we discovered her "Annual Recipes" book contained so many good recipes that we were constantly referring to it. This recipe for sweetened, salty chile sauce really hits the tongue well, and it goes with just about everything especially spooned into soups such as Vietnamese Pho.

Ingredients
1/2 cup sambal oelek
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon thin soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
(optional: for an interesting twist, add a tiny amount of shrimp paste)

Method
Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until honey dissolves (about 3 minutes). Chile sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
