Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, minced, see note 1
5 g (2 teaspoon) ginger, minced, see note 1
100 g (½ cups) sweet chilli sauce, store-bought or homemade
5 g (2 teaspoon) paprika, see note 2
5 g (2 teaspoon) red chilli flakes, optional, see note 2
20 g (1 tablespoon) soy sauce
60 g (¼ cups) white wine vinegar, subs note 3
5 g (1 tablespoon) cornflour, aka cornstarch
30 g (2 tablespoon) water, adjust for consistency

Instructions

Whisk together ingredients: 2 garlic cloves (minced), 5 g (2 teaspoon) ginger (minced), 100 g (½ cups) sweet chilli sauce, 5 g (2 teaspoon) paprika, 5 g (2 teaspoon) red chilli flakes, 20 g (1 tablespoon) soy sauce, 60 g (¼ cups) white wine vinegar
(optional) Add to a saucepan over medium heat, let simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the cornflour slurry (5 g (1 tablespoon) cornflour + 30 g (2 tablespoon) water). Remove from heat and let cool then transfer.

Notes

Note 1 - Garlic & Ginger

Fresh is recommended to help the sauce pack a punch. But you can substitute for jarred or ground in a pinch (but you won't have the same flavour depth)

Note 2 - Paprika & Red Chilli Flakes

You can adjust to your spice preferences. If you like it super spicy, I recommend Cayenne pepper over paprika and adding in a few more red chilli flakes. For a milder spice, you can opt for a small amount of diced fresh chilli.

Note 3 - White Wine Vinegar

Substitutions - white vinegar, mirin

Serve with

Drizzle over your favourite proteins like Chicken, Pork or Beef. Even add it as a sauce to stir fry, or as a dipping sauce.

Storing

Store in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
