I’ve taken a popular sweet chili sauce and added some spice to bring corn to a whole new level. I figured if sweet chili sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for meats and egg rolls, then it’d be great added to corn. Turns out I was right. A simple adjustment to the sweet and spicy glaze to make it creamy helps this sauce stick to your corn.
VARIATION TIP: Want it spicier? Add more sriracha. Don’t like spice? Omit the sriracha. The addition of mayonnaise and sour cream tones down the kick in the sweet chili sauce.
