How to Make Hot And Sweet Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup rice vinegar to a boil.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar dissolves completely.
  3. While the vinegar simmers, prepare the garlic: Using a mortar and pestle (or the back of a spoon in a bowl), mash 2 cloves garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt until a smooth paste forms.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste) to the garlic paste and mix well.
  5. Remove the vinegar mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the garlic paste, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Once cooled completely, transfer the sauce to an airtight jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Sauce will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.)
  7. Serve the sauce at room temperature in small bowls for dipping. Enjoy!
