Sweet Chilli Sauce
Hello everyone, my latest post and recipe is for Sweet Chilli Sauce. It is such a good basic ingredient to have in your kitchen. It can be used as a dip for your favourite Thai starters. I also use it as a stir fry sauce or add into other recipes.

Thinking about it, I also have a good one for chocolate and hazelnut spread.
