Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 10 - 12 dry red chili (discard seeds)

• 1/2 Cup granulated white sugar
• 1/2 Cup white vinegar
• 3 Cup water
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon corn starch

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Once the water starts bubbling, turn off the heat. Add the dry red chilies. Soak them in hot water. Cover the pan with a lid. Dehydrate the dry chilies for 5 - 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Next, transfer the soaked red chilies to a blender. Add garlic, salt, vinegar, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Blend the ingredients to a smooth sauce.

3. 3

   Transfer the sauce to a pan. Place the pan over the stovetop. Turn on the heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer so that the flavors infuse together.

   Now mix corn starch with a tablespoon or so of water to make a slurry. Add corn starch slurry to the sauce and mix nicely to avoid any lump formation.

   The sauce will start thickening. Once the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Let it cool down completely at room temperature.
