Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce
Nothing beats the taste of homemade sweet chili sauce. It’s vibrant, with the flavors bursting through without the heavy aftertaste that some commercial brands can have. Plus, you can adjust the sweetness and spice level to perfectly suit your palate.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Rice wine Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp Spy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Red chili flakes you can use anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 tbsp depending on the heat level you like
- 1 tbsp Non Gmo corn starch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Add the vinegar, water, honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and red chili peppers to a medium pot. Heat to medium heat, stirring to dissolve honey.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a low boil for two minutes.
- Mix the cornstarch and water together into a smooth slurry and add this to the sauce as well. While stirring frequently (to prevent the sauce from burning at the bottom), simmer the sauce for a further minute or until it reaches a desired thickness. Remember, the sauce thickens as it cools as well.
- Pour into glass jars with air-tight lids. Cool to room temperature and store in the fridge.
