 What Does Sweet Chili Sauce Taste Like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sweet chili sauce has both sweet and spicy flavors. The condiment resembles sweet and sour sauce, with the extra kick from red chili paste<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sauce is also made with sugar, which gives it a nice sweetness. Some bottles may vary in spice, depending on their sugar-to-spice ratio. In most cases, however, sweet chili sauce is mild with a touch of spice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinegar is another important ingredient, as this adds an acidity that cuts through the other ingredients. This gives the sauce its sour, sharp, and tangy feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable ingredients include paprika, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Though the sauce is mainly sweet, these ingredients give the sauce savory notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet chili sauce is thick and pleasantly sticky, making it a natural addition to East Asian dishes, like spring rolls, chili chicken, or vegetables. Some people like to top grilled fish with sweet chili sauce as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
