Sweet Chili Sauce

This is a great sauce to use for marinade, stir fry, or dipping. The family loves when I make this sauce because of the great flavor and versatility.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup rice vinegar

• 1 cup cane sugar*

• 2 TBSP hot chili flakes

• 1/2 TBSP ground ginger

• 1/2 TBSP garlic powder

• 2 TBSP tomato paste

• 1 TBSP fish sauce

• 2 tsp corn starch

• salt to taste

Directions

Add water, vinegar, and sugar in a small sauce pot over medium heat and stir. Let mixture come to a rolling boil and then remove from heat.

Next, add chili flakes, ginger, and garlic powder and whisk thoroughly. Add tomato paste, fish sauce corn starch with a bit of water add so starch will not clump. Give mixture another thorough whisk and serve immediately or cool and store in the fridge until ready to use.
