How to Make Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Homemade
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth.
