Ingredients

• 4 pieces Red chili peppers (fresh, finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and continue to stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of water over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red chili peppers, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 4

Pour the prepared liquid mixture into the saucepan with the sautéed aromatics. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1 tablespoon of water until smooth to make a slurry.

Step 6

Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or chili peppers for extra heat, as needed.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro if using, for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve your Thai Spicy Sauce warm or at room temperature as a dip, marinade, or drizzle over your favorite dishes. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
