This recipe comes from a Teens Tour of Asia class over the summer - we ran out of the store bought sweet chili sauce, no better excuse to whip some up! This stuff is legit and waaay better! You'll want to put it on everything
Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 cup sugar
2 TBS grated ginger
2 TBS hot chili garlic paste (Thai-style)
Directions
Finely grate the ginger. Mix all of the measured ingredients together in a small sauce pot, bring to a boil. Boil 5-7 minutes.
Note: It will seem runnier than expected. As it chills it thickens up.
Let cool before using. Try it over cheese as delicious topping on your next cheese platter. Great as a dipping sauce, in Asian-inspired dishes or use instead of honey for a little extra kick!
