Sweet chili or lumpia dipping sauce is for Lumpiang Shanghai, Shrimp Lumpia, Cheese Lumpia or just for any small fried eggroll.
The recipe is a mixture of water, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, chili peppers and tapioca starch or cornstarch for a thick consistency.
Siling Labuyo or better known as Thai bird chili peppers are added depending on one's preference, whether mild or hot and spicy.
To counter balance the sweetness, vinegar is used to give a hint of tartness.
Ketchup also adds to the tartness and gives the sauce a pale pink hue.
Adding shredded carrots is optional. It's merely for texture and appearance, but can be omitted.
Cornstarch is the standard thickener but tapioca starch gives it a better runny consistency and stays stable when refrigerated.
