Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is a ubiquitous condiment in Thailand, used as a dipping sauce for everything from spring rolls to chicken satay. It's also a popular ingredient in stir-fries, marinades, and glazes. The sauce is typically made with a combination of chili peppers, garlic, sugar, and fish sauce. However, there are many variations on the recipe, and some versions include additional ingredients such as pineapple juice, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. This recipe for Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is a bit different from the traditional version in that it uses pineapple juice instead of chili peppers. This gives the sauce a sweeter, more fruity flavor that is perfect for dipping or drizzling. The sauce is also made with low-sodium soy sauce and honey, which makes it a healthier alternative to the traditional version.
