  • 0.5Teaspoons (tsp)Paprika
  • 1ClovesMinced garlic
  • 1Tablespoons (tbsp)Corn Starch

Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the dried red chili—either use pre-ground chili or crush it roughly using a grinder or food processor.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in ½ cup of water.

  3. 3

    Add the ground red chili to the water.

  4. 4

    Add ⅓ cup of sugar.

  5. 5

    Add ¼ cup of white vinegar.

  6. 6

    Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

  7. 7

    Add ½ teaspoon of paprika for a vibrant color.

  8. 8

    Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.

  9. 9

    Stir all the ingredients over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until the chili aroma appears and the sugar dissolves.

  10. 10

    In a separate small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stir well to dissolve completely.

  11. 11

    Once the chili mixture is hot, gradually pour in the starch mixture while stirring continuously for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens.

  12. 12

    Let the sauce cool slightly before using or storing—it will set into a light jelly-like consistency as it cools.

  13. 13

    Do not grind the chili too finely; leaving it a bit coarse adds texture.
