A thick sweet, sour, and spicy sauce, it’s a popular condiment from Thailand. Use it as a marinade, to season grilled and fried foods, and for dipping.
Thai sweet chili sauce is known as nam chim kai in Thai. It’s commonly made with red chili peppers (Fresno chile, Thai, or red jalapeños), rice wine vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar.
You can find the commercial variety at Asian grocery stores and big supermarkets.
