Sweet Chilli Marinade 150g

A sweet chili marinade is a flavorful blend that balances sweet, spicy, tangy, and savory notes, typically using a base of store-bought or homemade sweet chili sauce, enhanced with ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and sometimes sesame oil to deeply infuse meats (chicken, pork, shrimp) or tofu before cooking, adding moisture and a delicious glazed finish. It creates a sticky, caramelized coating when cooked.
Base: Sweet chili sauce (Thai sweet chili sauce).
Savory/Salty: Soy sauce, fish sauce (optional).
Aromatics: Minced garlic, fresh ginger, sometimes onion.
Sweetness: Sugar (brown or white), honey, or fruit.
Acidity: Rice wine vinegar, cider vinegar, or lime juice.
Optional Enhancements: Sesame oil, chili flakes, coriander, water (to thin).
How it's Used
Combine: Whisk ingredients together or blend them for a smoother texture.
Marinate: Coat chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, or tofu for at least an hour, or even overnight.
Cook: Grill, bake, stir-fry, or pan-fry the marinated items, allowing the sugars to caramelize for a sticky, flavorful result.
Variations
Quick Version: Just sweet chili sauce + soy sauce + water.
More Depth: Add fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and fresh cilantro.
Spicier: Use more chilies or a chili paste like Sambal Oelek.
