I started making this sauce after our neighbour gave us some very hot manzana peppers from his garden. While I loved the flavor, the heat was just too intense for my wife’s taste buds. So, I decided to create a recipe that would tone down the spiciness while still maintaining the delicious flavors of the peppers.
After a few rounds of experimentation, I finally landed on the perfect balance of sweetness and heat that works with any hot peppers, even jalapenos. This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be used for dipping, marinating, or as a flavorful addition to any dish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Tips for making sweet chili ginger sauce
- When working with spicy ingredients like chili peppers, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face or eyes, as the capsaicin in the peppers can cause irritation.
- If you prefer a milder sauce, start with a smaller amount of chili pepper (or a more mild variety) and adjust to taste.
- Be sure to finely mince the garlic and ginger root to avoid any large chunks in the sauce.
- For a smoother texture, you can strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve after cooking.
One time, I was making a spicy salsa and forgot to wash my hands thoroughly after handling the chili peppers. Later that day, I rubbed my eyes and it was like a fire had been ignited in my eyeballs! Needless to say, I learned my lesson and now always make sure to wash my hands thoroughly when working with spicy ingredients.
