Sweetened Chili Paste

Sweetened Chili Paste

EverydayCookedSweetened

Sweetened chili paste is a thick, smooth condiment that combines fiery chilies with sugar and vinegar, creating a signature balance of heat, sweetness, and tanginess. This Southeast Asian staple—common in Thai and Vietnamese cooking—is typically made by cooking down chili peppers with palm sugar, garlic, and tamarind until caramelized. While rich in vitamin C and capsaicin from chilies, its high added sugar content requires mindful portioning when used as a glaze for proteins, stir-fry base, or dipping sauce accompaniment.
