Directions Chef John's Thai-Style Sweet Chili Sauce
Directions
-
Place 1/2 cup cold fresh water and vinegar in a saucepan. Whisk in Asian fish sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, sambal chili sauce, and cornstarch. Whisk until cornstarch disappears. Place over medium-high heat and bring up to a simmer stirring occasionally. As it bubbles, it will start to thicken up. Remove pan from heat.
Whisk garlic and chili into hot mixture. Add fresh lime juice, whisk again. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature before checking for seasonings.
If not using immediately, transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Refrigerate.
