Sweet Chili Sauce
ired chile pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons arrowroot
1/3 cup (80 ml) lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
Makes about 1/2 cup (125 ml)
It doesn’t take long to make a small batch of this sauce fresh for your
next meal. If you don’t need the whole quantity, try freezing it; using
arrowroot as a thickener will ensure it thaws well.
In a small saucepan, combine the chile pepper and arrowroot. Slowly
stir in the lime juice, vinegar, brown sugar and fish sauce, until well
combined. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil, until
thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room
temperature. Use immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for
up to 1 month.
