This zesty sweet chili glaze is a perfect blend of tangy and spicy flavors, great for dipping or drizzling over your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
1 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ginger
1 whole chile pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch mixture)
Method
Gather all the ingredients you will need to create the glaze.
In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together water and vinegar, then bring the blend to a rapid boil over high heat. Stir in the sugar, grated ginger, diced chili pepper, ketchup, and minced garlic, letting the mixture simmer for around five minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with a splash of water and stir until smooth. Gradually add this cornstarch mixture into the bubbling sauce while whisking until fully blended.
Once the glaze reaches your desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool. Transfer the glaze to a bowl, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator until you need it.
