What is Sweet Chili sauce?

Sweet Chili sauce, also known as Thai sweet and sour chili sauce, is an iconic specialty of Thai cuisine. Made from red chili peppers, garlic, sugar, water, vegetables and a hint of vinegar, it wins people over with its simultaneously sweet, mildly spicy and delicately tangy flavor.

The Royal Thai Sweet Chili for Spring Rolls version is specially designed to pair with spring rolls and fried foods. Its smooth texture, punctuated by small pieces of chili and garlic, coats every bite perfectly while delivering a rich and balanced flavor.
