Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp white sugar
  • 9 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp pickled red chili
  • 4 tsp white vinegar
  • 8 tsp minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
slurry
  • 4 tsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp filtered water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, combine the 10 tbsp white sugar, 9 tbsp water, 4 tbsp pickled red chili, 4 tsp white vinegar, 8 tsp minced fresh garlic, and 2 tsp kosher salt. Mix until combined.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, add the mixed ingredients and cook for 1-2 minutes just until the ingredients are warmed up and the sugar has dissolved. Stir while heating up so it doesn’t burn. The sauce SHOULD NOT be bubbling. If it gets too hot, lower the heat.
  3. On the side, combine the 4 tsp cornstarch and 4 tbsp filtered water to make the slurry.
  4. Carefully add the slurry and stir until combined. Bring the heat to medium until it begins to simmer and thicken. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until the sauce thickens to the consistency of maple syrup. The sauce should turn into a translucent red-orange as it thickens.
  5. Note: You may need to cook it down longer if you make more than a 1-cup serving. Remember, the sauce will thicken as it cools down, so stop cooking before it reaches the desired consistency in the pan.
  6. Taste the sweet chili sauce and adjust the seasoning if desired.
  7. Turn off the heat and let it cool before transferring it into a container or serving.
