Origin Of Sweet Chilli Sauce
The origin of sweet chilli sauce is often disputed, with Thailand and Vietnam both claiming to be the birthplace of the popular condiment. However, if experts are to believe, it was created in Zhongshan City, which is located in the Guangdong province of China. It soon travelled to South East Asia and Thailand, where it became a culinary mainstay.
Sweet chilli sauce is made from a combination of sugar, vinegar, and red chilli peppers. The sugar provides sweetness, while the vinegar gives the sauce a tangy flavour. The chilli peppers give the sauce its heat, which can vary depending on the type of pepper used and the amount included in the recipe.
While sweet chilli sauce is commonly used as a dipping sauce or marinade, it can also be used as a glaze or topping for cooked meats or vegetables. It is also a popular ingredient in many Thai and Vietnamese dishes. With the trivia out of the way, let’s see how Licious has maintained Thai authenticity with this offering.
