How to Make Thai Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup rice vinegar, ¼ cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1-2 Thai red chilies, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tanginess, or chilies for heat.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to small dipping dishes or airtight containers for storage. The flavor will deepen as it rests.
