Nonya Secrets Sweet Chilli Sauce: A Fusion of Flavour and Tradition

What makes it special?

This Sweet Chilli Sauce is not your typical sticky, overly sweet condiment. Crafted using authentic Southeast Asian techniques, it strikes a delicate balance between sweetness, heat, and tang. The sauce features:

• Fresh red chillies for a warming, vibrant heat.
• Garlic for depth and savoury balance.
• Sugar and vinegar for that essential sweet-tangy harmony.
• Hints of ginger for a gentle warmth and aromatic finish.

This combination reflects the careful balance found in traditional Nonya cuisine, where the interplay of sweet, sour, and spicy flavours is a hallmark of its heritage.
