Slow cooker chicken and rice was on the menu for dinner tonight, though it needed something to make it interesting– Sweet Chilli Thai Sauce. Now I didn’t actually have any, nor was I going out to buy any- so I modified a recipe to suit what pantry ingredients I did have. The result was a fantastic sauce!
This would be great with fresh ginger, garlic, and chillies as well- but still great with pantry-friendly ingredients.
