Homemade Sweet Red Chili Sauce

This sauce is spicy, but you adjust the red pepper flakes and Sriracha according to your taste. I cannot handle "hot hot", so this recipe works for me.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup white rice vinegar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 TBS minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to your taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Sriracha (or to your taste or omit)
  • 1 TBS cornstarch
  • 1 TBS water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:

Add 1/4 cup water, rice vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium high. When it starts to boil, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Lower the temperature and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add the Sriracha (if using).

In a cup or small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the tablespoon of cold water until dissolved. Bring the chili sauce mixture to a simmer again and add the cornstarch/water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Cook, stirring constantly until mixture reaches desire thickness; approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. It's ready to use.

Store in a glass container in the refrigerator. Will keep for 1 month (never lasted past 30 days).
