To make Hot Chili sauce:

Simplest version of chili sauce would be to chop 1 cup of chilies (labuyo variety is perfect) and fry them in sesame oil.

The chili sauce found in restaurants is a combination of chili, garlic and oil. Combine chopped chilies and mashed garlic then simmer for around 20 minutes or till most of the water has evaporated. Add sesame oil, simmer and stir well.
