Pantai Hot Chilli Sauce 

Pantai's standard Hot Chilli Sauce is an authentic Thai-style garlic chili sauce known for delivering a distinct spicy kick with a savory garlic profile.

Key Characteristics and Ingredients

This sauce is thicker than the average table sauce, making it excellent for dipping. The heat is prominent and is complemented by a subtle sweetness.

• Core Ingredients: Water, Red Chili (often around 22%), Fructose Syrup, Sugar, Garlic, Salt, Modified Corn Starch (thickener), and Acetic Acid (acidity regulator).
• Flavor Profile: Primarily hot and savory, with a strong presence of fresh garlic and a balancing hint of sweetness.
• Appearance: Red/orange in color, often with visible chili flakes and minced garlic pieces.

Culinary Uses

This versatile sauce adds an exotic spicy flavor to a wide range of foods:

• Dipping: Perfect for spring rolls, fried chicken wings, dumplings, calamari, and various deep-fried appetizers.
• Cooking: Add a spoonful to stir-fried noodles, rice dishes, or use it as a base for a spicy marinade for grilled pork or chicken skewers.
• As a Condiment: Great for adding heat to eggs, soups, sandwiches, or tacos.

Key Characteristics and Ingredients

Sriracha is a smooth, liquid-style sauce that is a staple for those who enjoy higher heat.

• Core Ingredients: Typically features a higher chili concentration (often around 28% to 45% Red Chili), Water, Sugar, Garlic, and Salt, along with Acidity Regulators.
• Flavor Profile: Boldly spicy and tangy, with a pungent garlic flavor. The taste is less sweet than the classic Sweet Chili Sauce, focusing more on heat and fermentation notes.
• Consistency: Smooth and pourable, making it ideal for drizzling directly onto food.

Culinary Uses

Sriracha's smooth heat makes it a popular finishing sauce:

• Drizzling: Use directly from the bottle to spice up noodles (like Pho), pizza, soup, or any rice and vegetable dish.
• Mixing: Blend into mayonnaise to create a spicy aioli or mix into sour cream for a cooling but fiery dip.
• Flavor Enhancement: Excellent for adding a quick burst of intense heat to virtually any savory food.

Storage Note: For both varieties, keep in a cool, dry place when unopened. Refrigerate after opening.
