Instructions

In a small pot combine vinegar, water, and sugar.
Dissolve sugar over medium heat and simmer.
Stir in sambal, soy sauce and cornstarch slurry. Simmer for 1 minute until sauce thickens (it will thicken more as it cools). Remove from heat and cool.

Notes

**Recipe makes 1 1/4 cups** **Each serving is 2 tablespoons**

Variations

If you're unable to find Sambal I recommend replacing it with either Harissa or Calabrian chili paste!

You can replace the sugar with honey (1:1) but the flavor and consistency will be slightly different.

Storing Instructions

Once the sweet chili sauce has cooled completely, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
