Chilli and Garlic Sauce
Chilli and Garlic Sauce is a spicy condiment used across many cuisines, particularly in Southeast Asian and Chinese cooking, known for adding heat and tang to dishes like stir-fries, noodles and dips. It often combines chillies, vinegar, sugar and garlic to create a bright, pungent sauce. Nutritionally it is a concentrated source of flavor rather than bulk nutrition — it contains about 20g of sugar per 100g and can also provide vitamin C and provitamin A from the chillies. Because many commercial versions are highly processed and relatively high in sugar and salt, it’s best used sparingly; however, chilli sauces do contribute antioxidant carotenoids and capsaicin-related compounds that can add metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits when included as part of a varied diet.
