Description

Homemade sweet and sour chili sauce is perfect for meat or fish. This sauce is delicious and spicy, ideal for fans of Asian cuisine. It's made without unnecessary additives and preservatives, which makes it much better than store-bought versions. I offer a recipe for a spicy sweet and sour sauce that has become a favorite.

This recipe uses two types of hot peppers. If you want a milder taste, simply omit the small chili peppers, as they provide extra spiciness.

Instructions

Place chopped regular chili pepper and small chili peppers, along with garlic, in a blender jug. Add 200 ml of water and blend until smooth.
Transfer the blended mixture to a saucepan. Add another 150 ml of water, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 50 ml of water, stir it, and add it to the saucepan with the peppers.
Simmer, stirring, for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Sweet chili sauce is a versatile condiment that complements many dishes, including poultry, meat, fish, and seafood. Spicy food enthusiasts will definitely appreciate it!
