Notes

Can I use a sugar substitute to make sweet chili sauce?
Yes, you can use honey or agave syrup if you prefer. Because they are liquids, you will need to add a little extra cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Honey, in particular, is sweeter than sugar, so use slightly less and add a splash of water to balance the sweetness.
For a diabetic-friendly option, use a powdered or granulated sweetener of your choice, such as erythritol.
How do I store sweet chili sauce?
Store the sauce in the fridge for about 1 week or freeze for 2–3 months. The sauce will "set" when frozen, but gently reheat (on the stovetop or in the microwave) and stir to return it to a smooth consistency.
