ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Made to go on everything.
A riff off of chili crisp that built a following by refusing to stay in one lane — people put it on eggs, noodles, pizza, ice cream. Mekhala’s Organic Sweet Spicy Chili is a sauce with that same instinct: something sweet, spicy, tangy, and rich enough to work whenever you reach for it.
Drizzle it over noodles or a rice bowl. Dip your dumplings in it. Spoon it onto a fried egg. Brush it on chicken before grilling and the coconut sugar caramelizes into a sticky glaze. Stir it through roasted vegetables. Use it as a stir-fry sauce straight from the jar. The miso and garlic give it enough depth that it earns its place in every one of those situations — not just as a finishing touch, but as the heart and soul of any dish.
Made in small batches in Chiang Mai, Thailand by a women-led team using stone-ground organic ingredients from local farms. USDA Certified Organic.
SIMPLE TO MAKE
Drizzle. Dip. Marinate. Stir-Fry.
One sauce, four roles in the kitchen — use it straight from the jar or stir into dishes for instant bold flavor.
As a Drizzle
Spoon directly over noodles, rice bowls, roasted vegetables, eggs, and dumplings. The sauce coats without overwhelming — bold flavor that respects the dish underneath. Stir well before each use.
As a Dipping Sauce
Serve alongside dumplings, spring rolls, satay, chicken skewers, or raw vegetables for dipping. The sweet-spicy balance makes this a crowd-pleasing dip that works across cuisine styles.
As a Marinade
Coat chicken, tofu, tempeh, or salmon before grilling, baking, or pan-frying. The sugars from coconut sugar caramelize beautifully with heat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes for best results.
As a Stir-Fry Sauce
Add a tablespoon or two to stir-fries, fried rice, or noodle dishes in the last minute of cooking. The sauce gives instant depth and a glazy, restaurant-style finish to simple weeknight meals.
Pro tip: Stir well before use — natural separation is normal for an unpreserved organic sauce. For dumplings, add a splash of rice vinegar and sesame oil to the sauce for an elevated dipping experience.

VERSATILITY
Use on everything
A sauce that works across Asian and Western dishes alike — anytime you want bold, balanced flavor in seconds.
Noodles
Drizzle generously over ramen, udon, pad thai, or glass noodles. The sweet-spicy sauce coats noodles beautifully and adds instant depth to any bowl — hot or cold.
Rice Bowls
Spoon over rice bowls with roasted vegetables, tofu, or grilled protein. The umami depth from miso means the sauce does the heavy lifting — no need for multiple condiments.
Roasted Vegetables
Toss over or alongside roasted broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, or sweet potatoes. The caramelized chili notes complement roasted vegetables exceptionally well.
Eggs
Drizzle over fried eggs, shakshuka, or egg fried rice. The sweet-sour-spicy profile brightens eggs without overpowering them. A weekend brunch upgrade that takes ten seconds.
Dumplings & Spring Rolls
The natural dipping companion. The sweet-tangy balance cuts through the richness of fried dumplings, pot stickers, and spring rolls cleanly. No soy sauce needed alongside.
Grilled Meats
Use as a marinade or glaze for chicken, pork, salmon, or tofu before grilling or baking. Brush on in the last few minutes of cooking for a beautiful sticky finish.
Salad Dressing
Thin with a little rice vinegar and sesame oil for an instant Asian-inspired dressing over mixed greens, slaw, or grain salads. The miso umami depth makes it taste like it took far more effort than it did.
Stir-Fries
Add a tablespoon in the last minute of stir-frying vegetables, tofu, or chicken for instant glaze and flavor. Works particularly well with broccoli, bok choy, and firm tofu.

Yes, it is 100% vegan. Mekhala Organic Sweet Spicy Chili Sauce containsno fish sauce, no shrimp paste, no oyster sauce, no dairy, and no eggs. This is a key differentiator — most commercial sweet chili sauces contain fish sauce or fish extract, making them unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Yes. The sauce is USDA Certified Organic, and USDA National Organic Program standards prohibit the use of genetically modified organisms in all certified organic products. All ingredients are organic and therefore non-GMO by standard.
Most conventional sweet chili sauces are primarily sugar and vinegar with a little chili — one-dimensional sweetness with minimal depth. Mekhala's version addsmiso pastefor fermented umami complexity,organic jasmine rice vinegarfor a gentler, more nuanced tang, andcoconut sugarinstead of refined sugar for a rounder, less cloying sweetness. The result is a sauce with four distinct flavor dimensions: sweet, spicy, tangy, and umami.
Yes. Mekhala Organic Sweet Spicy Chili Sauce is certified gluten-free. The soy sauce used is made from brown rice and soybeans — not wheat. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
Yes. This sauce contains soybeans from both the gluten-free soy sauce and the miso paste. It is not suitable for those with soy allergies. Please check the current product label carefully.
Separation is completely normal and expected in a natural, preservative-free organic sauce. No emulsifiers or stabilizers are used. Simply stir well before each use. The flavor is unaffected by separation.
Mekhala curry pastes are handcrafted in small batches at the brand's own production facility in Chiang Mai, Thailand. All raw ingredients are sourced from local farmers using regenerative farming practices including crop rotation and cover cropping. The production team is entirely female-led and includes women from the Burmese Shan community, making every jar a genuine act of ethical, purposeful production.
Mekhala Red Curry Paste rates 2 out of 3 on our heat scale — medium. It delivers a real, authentic chilli warmth without overwhelming heat, making it accessible for most palates including older children and those sensitive to spice. For extra kick, simply double the amount of paste used. The heat is well-balanced by the bright, fragrant notes of galangal, lemongrass, and lime. If you prefer milder heat, try our Yellow Curry Paste (1/3); for a bolder, hotter curry, our Green Curry Paste (3/3) is the one.
Refrigerate after opening and consume within 30 days for best flavor and freshness. As a natural product without artificial preservatives, freshness is best within this window.
Mekhala's curry pastes (Red Curry, Green Curry, Panang, etc.) are concentrated flavor bases for cooking — typically used in curries made with coconut milk. Sweet Spicy Chili Sauce is a ready-to-use sauce designed to drizzle, dip, and dress directly. It requires no cooking and no diluting. Think of the pastes as building blocks and the sauce as a finished condiment.
