Instructions
- Peel the garlic and remove the seeds from the chilis, or keep the seeds if you want a spicier kick in your sauce.
- Finely chop the garlic and chili, or use a food processor to speed things up.
- In a small pot, combine the minced garlic, chili, water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and the garlic and chili to soften and release their fragrance.
- Create a slurry by mixing cornstarch with water, then whisk it into the pot. Continue simmering for another minute until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
- Once fully cooled, transfer the sauce to a glass jar and refrigerate.
