Ingredients

1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar
diabetic alternative: use granular sweetener of choice (e.g. erythritol)
1 tablespoon rice wine ((can substitute dry sherry))
1 tablespoon sambal oelek ((use more or less according to taste))
OR 1-2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes ((these are very hot, start with less and add more if desired))
1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce ((use tamari for gluten free))
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water ((the sauce will thicken more once cooled))
1-2 drops natural red food coloring ((optional))

Steps:

Place all of the ingredients except for the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring regularly. Once the sugar is dissolved stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring continually until thickened, about 1 minute. Let the sauce cool completely, pour into an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator. Will keep for up to a week. Makes about 1 cup.

THAI SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce image

Similiar to Mae Ploy. Additions may be added...ginger, cilantro, etc. Use for dipping chicken fingers, spring rolls, wantons, Crab Ragoon, grilled chicken, fried calamari...and the list goes on. (Note: Traditionally, Thai Sweet Chili sauce is not thickened with starch, but rather cooked into a syrupy consistancy. There's some benefit to thickening with starch and using less sugar.)

Yield 1 cup approximately

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 hot red peppers (jalapeno, serrano, thai, cayenne, etc.)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Keeping the seeds makes for a hotter end product, removing less so. Keep in mind it will be hotter the first day and dissipates over time. Resist the urge to taste and redip your spoon. Enzymes in saliva breaks down starches and will eventually make it watery -- that is in my humble opinion.
In a food processor blend together the garlic, red peppers, sugar, water, vinegar and salt into a puree; transfer to a sauce pan.
Bring mixture to a boil and simmer until the mixture begins to thicken and garlic and peppers bits slightly soften, about 3 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk into the sugar/pepper mixture. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cool completely before storing in refrigerator.
