Learn the Secret to Malaysian Hainanese Chicken Rice Chilli Sauce Recipe

Growing up, Hainanese Chicken Rice was more than just a meal in our home—it was a tradition. My mum always insisted that the chilli sauce was the soul of the dish. She had a special recipe, perfected over the years, and it became a family treasure.

Recently, I uploaded a video on how to make Hainanese Chicken Rice, but guess what? My mum called me right after and said, “Where’s the chilli sauce? You can’t serve Chicken Rice without it!” She was right, of course. The chilli sauce ties everything together: the tender chicken, the fragrant rice, and the umami-packed soy sauce.

So, here it is—my mum’s precious chilli sauce recipe. It’s spicy, tangy, garlicky, and has just the right amount of kick. Every bite will remind you of authentic Malaysian flavors. Whether you’re serving this with Hainanese Chicken Rice or as a dipping sauce for other dishes, it’s guaranteed to elevate your meal!
