The Best Ever Sweet Chili Sauce
This Sweet Chili Sauce is a sticky, garlicky, tangy sauce that is as perfectly sweet as it is sour. It's the perfect condiment for everything from chicken tenders to egg rolls.
Servings: 30 ounces
Equipment
- Glass jars with air-tight lids
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice vinegar unseasoned
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 cup + 4 tbsp sugar
- 10 cloves garlic chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 2 tbsp lite soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes more or less to your heat preference
- 4 tablespoons sambal oelek
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Add the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic cloves, ginger, soy sauce, and red chili peppers in to a medium pot. Heat to medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a low boil for two minutes. Then reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer and add the sambal oelek and mix through. Let it cook for a few minutes until it’s slightly thickened (2- 5 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 2 – 5 minutes 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.
