Before being diagnosed with IBS and put on a low FODMAP diet I used to love sweet chilli sauce, I would have it with stir-fries, as a sauce on plain chicken, turkey or salmon and use it to add flavour to a lot of my other recipes.
I am yet to find a safe low FODMAP shop bought sweet chilli sauce that doesn’t contain any garlic or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
Garlic is a major trigger of mine so even the tiniest amount will trigger my IBS.
I really like the flavour of my sweet chilli sauce and it works great as a dressing on a salad, sauce to accompany meat and most importantly is a key ingredient in my Thai Crispy Beef recipe, which I will be posting shortly.
