Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make about 1 cup of sauce:
-
3–4 red chilies (fresh or dried), finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup sugar (white or light brown)
-
½ cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
-
½ cup water
-
1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional for extra depth)
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chilies and Garlic
Finely chop your red chilies — remove seeds for less heat, or leave them in for a spicier kick. Mince the garlic finely.
2. Simmer the Base
In a small saucepan, combine the chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar, water, and fish sauce (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Thicken the Sauce
Once it’s bubbling gently, add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) and stir. The sauce will thicken slightly as it simmers. Cook for 5–7 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
4. Cool and Store
Remove from heat and let it cool. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it sits. Transfer to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. It keeps well for up to 3 weeks.
