10 Best Foods to Eat with Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
Ever found yourself staring at your bottle of sweet chilli dipping sauce, wondering what else it can go with besides spring rolls? You’re not alone. This sweet, slightly spicy, tangy sauce is a household favourite, but most of us only scratch the surface when it comes to pairing ideas. Luckily, sweet chilli dipping sauce is one of those condiments that can instantly elevate everyday foods – adding just the right kick without overwhelming your tastebuds.
If you’ve got a bottle sitting in your fridge (or are about to grab one), here are 10 delicious foods that pair perfectly with sweet chilli dipping sauce.
1. Chicken Nuggets
It’s a classic for a reason. Next time you have nuggets, swap out your usual ketchup or mayo for sweet chilli dipping sauce. It adds a little zing and works beautifully with the crispy exterior of the chicken.
2. Fried Tofu
Crispy tofu can sometimes need a flavour boost, and this is where sweet chilli dipping sauce truly shines. It clings to the tofu just enough to coat each bite, giving you that sweet-spicy hit you didn’t know you needed.
3. Prawns
Grilled or fried prawns and sweet chilli sauce are a match made in heaven. The sauce brings out the natural sweetness of the prawns while adding a bit of kick. Try skewering your prawns for an easy appetiser.
4. Fish Cakes
Thai-style fish cakes, in particular, go hand-in-hand with sweet chilli dipping sauce. The herbs and spices in the cakes are perfectly balanced by the sauce’s sweetness and mild heat.
5. French Fries
Yes, really. Instead of reaching for your usual sauces, try drizzling or dipping your hot, crispy fries in sweet chilli sauce. It’s a quick way to make your snack feel gourmet.
6. Spring Rolls
This one’s a classic. Vegetable, shrimp, or pork spring rolls all taste better with a generous dip of sweet chilli. The sauce cuts through the oil and adds an extra layer of flavour.
7. Grilled Chicken Skewers
Juicy chicken skewers – especially those with a bit of char – go incredibly well with sweet chilli dipping sauce. You can use it as a dip or even brush it over the skewers while grilling for an extra glaze.
8. Dumplings
Whether steamed or pan-fried, dumplings love a good dip. Sweet chilli sauce is a great alternative to soy or vinegar-based sauces and adds a refreshing twist.
9. Roasted Veggies
Toss your roasted carrots, cauliflower, or sweet potatoes in a spoonful of sweet chilli dipping sauce after they’re done roasting. It adds a punch of flavour without needing more salt or seasoning.
10. Cheese Wontons
That creamy, melty filling wrapped in a crispy wonton shell? It’s begging for something sweet and spicy to cut through the richness. Dip it into sweet chilli sauce, and you’ll understand why this pairing works so well.
