Blue Dragon sweet chilli dipping sauce /1.69/190ml Hugely flavourful and moreish, without the chilli overpowering.

Perfect sweet and sour balance with an appealing. Garlicky, spicy and delicious.

*****

Tesco Finest sweet chilli and garlic stirfry and dipping sauce /1.64/150ml Very sweet and very hot . . .

there's not much more to this fiery concoction.

We can't detect any traces of garlic in the flavour.

**

Sharwoods Thai chilli dipping sauce /1.64/150ml A simple sauce that performs well.

Jaunty spiciness comes through the sweet base tempered with just the right acidity. A decent mainstream staple.

***

Wagamama Roasted sweet chilli dipping sauce /2.59/250ml More like chilli jam, this jelly-ish sauce seems to be cut with lime and dried herbs.

The herbs add confusion to a sauce with too many flavours that simply doesn't gel. Yuck!
