Questions about Sweet chili sauce
What does sweet chilli sauce go well with?
Use it as a dip for spring rolls, prawn crackers or grilled prawns, or drizzle a little over stir-fried vegetables, noodles or rice bowls. It also works as a glaze for chicken or tofu.
Can you cook with sweet chilli sauce?
Yes. Brush it on chicken, salmon or tofu near the end of grilling or roasting, rather than at the start: its sugar can burn. For a quick stir-fry sauce, loosen it with a splash of lime juice, water or soy sauce.
How do you make sweet chilli sauce less sweet?
Stir in lime juice or rice vinegar to balance the sweetness, then add fresh chopped chilli if you want more heat. A little soy sauce adds savouriness, but use it sparingly because both sauces are salty.
How should you store sweet chilli sauce after opening?
Keep it in the fridge in its closed bottle or jar, and pour it out rather than dipping food into the container. Use a clean spoon and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
Can you freeze sweet chilli sauce?
You can freeze it in small portions, though the texture may separate slightly after thawing. Defrost it in the fridge, then stir or shake it well before serving.
Can you use sweet chilli sauce instead of sriracha?
Not as a direct swap: sweet chilli sauce is much sweeter and usually milder, while sriracha is hotter and more savoury. Add a small amount of sweet chilli sauce, then bring up the heat with fresh chilli or chilli flakes.
Is sweet chilli sauce very high in sugar?
Yes: sugars account for 40 g per 100 g, so a small drizzle can add up quickly. It also contains 1433 mg of sodium per 100 g.
How many calories are in sweet chilli sauce?
It contains 190 kcal per 100 g. The amount you use matters: a teaspoon is a modest drizzle, while several spoonfuls can add up.
