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.
