Homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

Today, we went out the whole day, so decided to 'da bao' KFC. Oops, run out of chili sauce. It was such a coincident, I just visited a website last night about Thai Chili Sauce and decided to give it a try.


Ingredients:

• 3 large cloves of garlic (I used 8 large cloves)
• 2 red Jalapeno (I used 4 medium size red chili, add more if you want it hot)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup vinegar(I used 1/3 cup)
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 2 tbsp water

Procedure:

1. Blend first 6 ingredients in blender.
2. Pour the mixture into saucepan to simmer it at medium heat until garlic & chili are slightly soften, it took me about 5 minutes.
3. Add 2 tbsp of water to 1 tbsp of corn starch and mix until no lump.
4. Mix corn flour mixture into the chili sauce and stir briskly to avoid forming lumps. Once the chili sauce starts boiling again, continue stirring(avoid burning) and simmer for another minute. The chili sauce is ready.
5. Let it cool down completely. Store in a glass jar and refrigerate it.
6. Let the chili sauce rest/settle for 2 days before using it.

Note/tips :
Use clean and dry spoon to scoop chili sauce from the bottle can prevent
contamination, so can keep the chili sauce longer.

OMG, Jia asks me not to get store bought Thai chili sauce again!!

I sincerely think that the original writer is a genius.
