Sriracha Caramel
Chimac Sriracha Caramel 390g is where sweet, sticky caramel meets the garlicky chilli heat of Sriracha. Made with 13.5% Sriracha alongside soy sauce, lime juice and fresh garlic, this glossy sauce hits that brilliant sweet-savoury-spicy combination that works particularly well with crispy, charred and grilled food.
Think of it as far more than a dipping sauce. Drizzle it over Korean fried chicken, brush it onto pork or chicken as a sticky glaze, spoon it over rice bowls or use it to finish roasted vegetables. The caramel sweetness gives the sauce body and stickiness, while chilli, garlic, soy and lime keep everything balanced rather than simply sugary.
At i4C, this is exactly the sort of sauce we like having around when dinner needs something extra without making another sauce from scratch. Try it over crispy chicken with spring onions and sesame seeds – sweet, sticky, spicy and ridiculously easy.

What does Sriracha Caramel taste like?
It combines pronounced sweetness with chilli heat and savoury depth. Garlic, soy sauce and lime add extra layers, giving the sauce a more complex sweet-savoury character than a conventional caramel sauce.
Can Chimac Sriracha Caramel be used as a cooking glaze?
Yes. Its sticky consistency makes it particularly suited to glazing. For roasted or grilled foods, brushing it on towards the latter stages of cooking can help create a glossy coating while reducing the chance of the sugar catching before the food is cooked.
Why do sweet sauces work so well with spicy food?
Sweetness can soften the perception of chilli heat while creating contrast with salty and savoury ingredients. Combining sugar, chilli and umami-rich seasonings is particularly effective with fried and charred foods, where the sauce also contrasts with crisp textures.
