Sweet Chilli sauce wasn’t always a world traveller! It all started in the fiery Sichuan province of China, famous for its bold flavours. Back in the day, they made this sauce with red chillies, garlic, and vinegar. Some sweetness was added to cool down their burning taste buds from all the other spicy dishes.
Gaining popularity beyond Sichuan, it became a staple condiment in Chinese households. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and the subsequent Republican era further witnessed its rising fame.
Soon, this sweet and tangy sauce became a regular guest at every dinner table, and thankfully, it didn't stop there. Today, this sweet and spicy wonder is enjoyed across the globe, adding its unique touch to countless dishes!
