Sugar Free Sweet Chilli Sauce Recipe
Description
The recipe blends chopped red chilies, ginger, and garlic into a pan with apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and a powdered sweetener. The mixture is brought to a boil briefly, then simmered for five minutes to meld the flavors. Meanwhile, hot water is mixed thoroughly with xanthan gum to avoid lumps and added back into the pan to thicken the sauce over another five minutes.
As it cools, the sauce becomes thicker and glossy with a balance of sweet, spicy, and acidic flavors but without sugar. The use of a powdered sweetener like erythritol or allulose prevents crystallization and preserves texture. The sauce is stored cooled in a clean glass jar and is suitable as a dipping sauce or to add flavor to dishes requiring sweet chili notes without sugar.
Yield is about 170g (¾ cup), with recommended serving sizes around two tablespoons, enough to serve multiple people. Adjust sweetener choice based on preferred texture and potential crystallization.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon red chili pepper chopped
- 2 teaspoon ginger chopped
- 2 teaspoon garlic chopped (2 cloves)
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar 120 ml
- ½ cup powdered sweetener 120g *** see notes
- ½ tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce / tamari
- ½ cup water 120 ml, hot
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Chop the red chilli, ginger and garlic. Add them to a pan together with the apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos and powdered sweetener.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and let the mix bubble away on a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Mix the hot water with the xanthan gum. Blend well so there are no lumps. Add to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached. Be aware that the sauce will thicken further while it cools.
- Fill into a clean glass jar and let cool.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 170g (¾ cup) of sauce, with a suggested serving of 2 tablespoons each.
- Use powdered allulose sweetener to prevent crystallization; erythritol may crystallize around the jar rim.
- Store the finished sauce in a clean glass jar and keep refrigerated.
- The sauce works well as a dip or condiment for up to eight people based on portion size.
