Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sriracha sauce over medium heat. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to help dissolve the sugar and infuse the flavors.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. This will act as a thickening agent for the sauce.
-
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sweet chili sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
-
Once cooled, transfer the sweet chili sauce to a sealed jar or container. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Give it a good shake before using to recombine any separated ingredients.
-
Serve your Easy Sweet Chili Sauce with your favorite dishes such as chicken wings, grilled shrimp, or even as a dipping sauce for vegetable spring rolls. Get creative and enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors it adds to your meals.
