Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

Ingredients

  • Water
  • Cornstarch

Directions

  1. Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together in a small saucepan until the mixture is completely smooth.
  2. Pour in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, then add 1/4 cup sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2-3 red chili peppers, chopped finely.
  3. Set the pan over medium heat, stirring the whole time, until the sauce comes to a boil and begins to thicken.
  4. Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce gently simmer for 10 minutes, or continue until it is as thick as you want it.
  5. Take the saucepan off the heat and allow the sauce to cool before you serve it or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks.
