Thai Chili Chicken Stir Fry is a sweet and spicy way to take chicken and give it an attitude. I always have my pantry and fridge stocked with Asian sauces and condiments. One of those condiments is Thai Sweet Chili sauce, also known as Mae Ploy Sauce. It's the perfect condiment to dip your egg rolls.
I decided to take this condiment and make it the star of my stir fry sauce. I added some of the other favorite sauces like soy sauce, fish sauce and sriracha sauce. Yes... you can call this dish truly "saucy". We ate it over a bed of brown rice and it really pleased all the bells and whistles we crave when we think of Asian food.
