Sweet Chilli Sauce

Condiments

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp dried chili flakes1
  • 3 tsp minced garlic, about 3 large cloves
  • ¼ cup rice or white vinegar
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¾ cup water + 2 tbsp, divided
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp potato or cornstarch

Method

  1. Add chilli flakes, garlic, vinegar, honey, ¾ cup water, and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over med-high heat. Boil for a minute at medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Mix the potato starch with the remaining water and add to the sauce, stirring over medium heat until thickened, less than a minute.
  3. Remove from heat, cool thoroughly and transfer to a glass container to store in the fridge. Reused glass dressing bottles or pint canning jars both work well. Keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks. Freeze for longer storage, 2-3 months

[!TIP] Great on salmon or stir-fry

  1. This amount produces a fairly spicy sauce initially, that mellows after a few days. Increase by 1 teaspoon at a time if you’d like to make it spicier. ↩
