This super simple Keto Sweet Chili Sauce recipe requires a few ingredients and 15 minutes to make. Use it as a low-carb and sugar-free replacement to the sauce that makes Asian Sticky Wings and Keto Bang Bang Shrimp possible.

Why Make This

I’m a believer in the idea that homemade food is always better than store-bought. And, that’s especially true in this Keto Sweet Chili Sauce recipe.

Besides tasting better than anything you can buy at the store, taking the 15 minutes to make it at home allows you to cut refined sugar.

Ingredients Needed

Garlic Chili Sauce: you can pick this up in the international foods aisle at your local grocery store. I typically find this right next to the sriracha sauce as it’s made by the same brand.
Soy Sauce: I’m using soy sauce, but you can replace it as listed in the recipe card for coconut aminos.
Xanthan Gum: this is my favorite way to thicken sauces. A little goes a long way. If you’d like to use beef bone broth collagen or unflavored bone broth collagen, you can use two scoops of it instead.
Keto Brown Sugar: this has a richer flavor than regular keto sweetener. However, you can substitute it for the granular or powdered versions of the keto sweetener you use.

How to Make It

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together (photos 1-2).

Pour the sauce into a pan and cook for 10-15 minutes or until it is thick enough for you (photos 3-4).

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

Storage: you can store keto sweet chili sauce in a glass jar for up to one week.
Collagen: if you’re using collagen a scoop is about 1 tablespoon. So, you would need two tablespoons to replace the Xanthan Gum in this recipe.

What happens if my sauce gets too thick?

This sauce will thicken the longer that it cooks. So, if your sauce gets too thick (I’ll admit I forgot about my sauce on the stove once), you can thin it out with water. Just add a tablespoon of water at a time until it returns to a consistency that you enjoy!

Author: Davinah

Ingredients

▢ 1/4 cup Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
▢ 1/2 cup Water
▢ 3 cloves Garlic, minced
▢ 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
▢ 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum, or 2 scoops Beef Bone Broth
▢ 1/4 cup Keto Brown Sugar Replacement, or Monk Fruit Erythritol
▢ 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
▢ 1 tbsp Garlic Chili Sauce, add up to 1 tbsp more for added spicy kick
▢ 1 tsp pure sesame oil, optional

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated. If you are using Bone Broth Collagen it will be lumpy at first but just keep whisking.
Heat a sauce pan to medium heat
Cook the sauce uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool. As the sauce cools, it will thicken the sauce.

Recipe Notes

This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of sauce. One serving is 1 tbsp.

Generally, I tend to make double the sauce and use it for things like Bang Bang Shrimp & Asian Sticky Wings.

I updated this recipe to include Xanthan Gum as the main sauce thickener. Feel free to use the post tips and ingredient notes to see how to use bone broth collagen if you wish.
