How to Make Thai Sweet And Spicy Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce.
  8. Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks (if it lasts that long!).
  10. Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of delicious dipping sauce.
