Irresistible Spicy Sweet Chili Sauce

Valerie Simpson

Report

Spicy sweet chili sauce has spicy, sour, sweet, and umami flavors. This Asian condiment is super easy to make from scratch and tastes better than bottled stuff. A great condiment for dipping spring rolls, potstickers, shrimp, or fried chicken.

Instructions

To make your own sweet chili sauce, simply add in all ingredients except corn starch slurry into a sauce pan. Bring it to boil. Let everything boil for 3 to 5 minutes slow and steady.
Then reduce flame to low, slowly add corn starch slurry (corn starch whisked with water) with constant stirring. Let it boil for 5 minutes more on very low flame and keep stirring regularly.
Once sauce reaches it’s desired thick consistency, turn off flame and let it cool completely before you transfer to air tight containers.
Note: The sauce thickens as it cools down.
You can store sweet chili sauce in air tight bottles or glass jars in refrigerator for many months. Make sure you use clean dry spoon every time you open the bottle to use the sauce.

Notes

Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
You can add fresh grated ginger to the sauce. Cook it along with minced garlic. The spiciness of this sauce depends on the variety of dried chilies that you use. If using Thai bird's eye chili, handle them with caution as it is hot. The sauce can be used in stir-fry recipes, can be used as a dipping sauce for dumplings, spring rolls, and wedges, or drizzled over soups, and salads.
