Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, fish sauce, and ketchup to the saucepan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar doesn’t scorch at the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 6
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously. Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container or a jar, then refrigerate until ready to serve. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Serve as a dipping sauce alongside egg rolls, sushi, or your favorite appetizers.
