Encona Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce
Trying out and subsequently writing out new recipes can be a bit time-consuming, so I thought we could expand from full recipes to quick tips and recommendations of specific ingredients.
To start us off, I am recommending Encona Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce, available from most big supermarkets in the UK for under £1 (don’t know about the availability in other countries I’m afraid). I’ve used the sauce in burgers, etc, before, but the other night I made a very quick meal by frying some green peppers and sliced chicken breast with a good dollop of the sauce and a little bit of Thai fish sauce and light soy sauce. I fried the chicken and pepper until almost done, and then added the sauces and cooked until the sweet chilli sauce had thickened a bit. I then served it on some microwaved “Thai rice with lime & coriander” and it surprised me by being really good, especially for a meal that required zero fore-thought and only took about 10 minutes to make.
