Pineapple Chili Sauce is one of the most delicious Thai/Asian inspired sauce which you must have in your kitchen. Sweet, Spicy, and just a wee bit tangy this Pineapple Chili Sauce works in handy whether you are making grilled recipes, making tacos, making rice or pasta, or simply sautéing vegetables.
You can also serve this with dumplings or spring rolls. And, that's not it. You can even serve it as a dressing on your Salads.
Pineapple Chili Sauce goes best with Fish, Chicken, and Vegetables. It has a sweet and tangy taste which uplifts your dish and improves the texture considerably.
You can even use it with Egg rolls, Sushi and also as a dipping sauce.
I have become a huge fan of this sauce. Just add it in the last minute and your recipe becomes lipsmackingly delicious.
A friend of mine mentioned me about this sauce while we were shopping together at Costco few years back. I got it home and since then I have LOVED it. Even more than Japanese Steakhouse Style Yum Yum Sauce.
You know as a home cook I wanted to make this recipe and keep it in my kitchen rather than purchasing it regularly.
So, I began trying. And, in just few attempts I was actually able to replicate the taste. Yay!
