Ingredients for Basic Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Red Chilies

How to Make Basic Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup white vinegar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 2-4 tablespoons of finely chopped red chili (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Allow the sauce to cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
