Sweet Chilli Sauce

Sweet Chilli Sauce Recipe

Sweet Chilli Sauce is one of those ubiquitous sauces sold in bottles or jars as either Chinese or Thai. It is what it say – sweet and not spicy, so the chillies used are usually the milder variety. But of course, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it sweet and spicy! 

When I was growing up in Singapore, this was often served as a dip with savoury snacks in the afternoons. It’s still one of my favourite nostalgic indulgences. Fantastic as a dip with spring rolls and prawn crackers but also makes a great base or topping for little canapés. See the Amuse-Bouche and Canapés page for ideas.
