Sweet Thai Chili Sauce

Yo, this stuff is SOOOO good! As far as sweet chili sauces go, this one is a slam dunk. I’ve had it on wings and with chicken nuggets and man it has really upped my saucing game. To me, this is not spicy at all, but I have yet to try a sweet chili sauce that is actually spicy.

Excellent stuff! Get some!

I got the sweet chili sauce. This sauce is really sweet and very liquidy. I was expecting it to be a little thicker in consistency but it’s actually fairly watery which was disappointing for me since I like my sauces thicker. Make sure to shake well! This does have a slight spicy kick to it but nothing too bad. If you were expecting spicy this is not it. I am weak to spicy flavors and I didn’t think it was too spicy so for those who enjoy spicy you will barely taste it. It was honestly more sweet than anything else. Tried dipping my chicken wings with it lol but that did not pair well at all. It did surprisingly go well mixed over white rice. You’ll just have to test it with different foodstuffs to see what will go well with this and what won’t.

It’s hard for me to recommend it since this is so niche and so hard to pair with foods. It’s also way too expensive for what it is. It’s not very special, it doesn’t take bad but it’s also not great. It’s just a sweet sauce rather than a Thai sweet chili. It just simply doesn’t go well with much. It’s good but potentially a bit too sweet. I JUST noticed as I was writing this review that this supposedly also has ginger and garlic flavors added in as well. So yea, don't look forward to that. If there really is supposed to have garlic and ginger flavors as well it does not come through at all. We have gotten Thai chili sauce from another brand called Lee Kum Kee and it’s SOOOO much better and goes with pretty much everything. I found that really ironic since the other brand is actually a Chinese company while this one is supposed to be authentic Thai. I love eating Thai food and I’ve had authentic food made by Thai parents. You haven’t lived until you’ve had homemade Thai food from a Thai mom. YUM. So yea, sadly this sauce is not that great. Definitely not all-purpose either as advertised. :(

(Please note I have not caught Covid at all so my taste buds are completely unaltered. I dunno if that might be important or not to some folks but just thought I'd mention it for full transparency for this review. :3)

This Thai chili sauce is delicious, and a great addition to my staple chicken curry recipe. Unfortunately it is awfully expensive for the amount I received. If it were about $6, I might consider repurchasing, but at over $12, I feel like this is too expensive to justify.

My husband and I LOVE trying different sauces and Thai sweet chili sauce is one of our FAVES!!!

While this is advertised as a sweet and spicy sauce, it is definitely more sweet than spicy. You get a strong taste of peppers and vinegar which is quite pleasant. However, the peppers aren't overly spicy. I am a spicy food wimp and I didn't find this to be hot whatsoever. My husband was hoping for more of a kick but he loves spicy food.

We have tried this in several dishes so far - stir fry, Thai noodles, and as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and egg rolls. All were delicious! The flavor is strong and complimentary.

The consistency can be a hit or miss, depending on how you want to use it. It is a lot more runny than I had expected so the "cling" factor really isn't there for dipping. It is perfect for cooking, though!

I would say this sauce is on par with the authentic Thai sweet chili sauce that we get at our favorite restaurant.

This sauce is runny enough to where I feel like I can use it in so many ways. I usually just drizzle a little over my meat or rice. It's more sweet than anything, but it's a little savory and spicy too.
