Oh my, have you a lot to learn!

No, it isnt at all all like that. Your americanized version of 'rooster
sauce' is actually rare in asia. More seen is red chile oil. Often served
at the side with a fermented bean paste and a garlic one that is hot and you
mix them in a dish.

What you have, is a common USA side item meant to mimic what they actually
have at the side.
