Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup rice vinegar (unseasonsed)
3/4 cup water
4 oz white sugar ((1/2 cup + 2 tbsp))
5 garlic cloves (chopped finely)
1 tbsp soy sauce (gluten free soy sauce or salt if you'd like to keep the recipe gluten free or soy free, OR 1/2 tbsp fish sauce)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional - halve it or leave it out if you like it less spicy)
2.8 oz sambal oelek (a generous 2 1/2 tbsp (please see recipe notes))
4 tsp cornflour / cornstarch ((see recipe notes))
2 tbsp water

Steps:

  • Add the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic cloves, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using) in to a non-stick pan. If you're using dried chili instead of sambal oelek, add it to the pan at the same time.
  • Heat over medium heat while stirring, to dissolve the sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the sambal oelek and mix through. Let it cook for a few minutes until it's slightly thickened (2- 5 minutes)
  • Mix the cornstarch and water into a smooth slurry and add this to the sauce as well.
  • While stirring frequently (to prevent the sauce from burning at the bottom), simmer the sauce for a further 2 - 5 minutes or until it reaches a desired thickness. Remember, the sauce thickens as it cools as well. If it thickens too much, add a little extra water to thin it out. If you're using Clear Jel, the sauce will thicken mostly only as it cools down.
  • Pour into glass jars with air-tight lids (OR heated and sterilized jars to store for longer).
  • Cool to room temperature and store in the fridge.

MINT-CHILI SAUCE



Mint-Chili Sauce image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Blender     Mint     Summer     Chill     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
Generous pinch of dried crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Purée all ingredients in blender. Transfer to bowl. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers: Different types of chili peppers have varying heat levels. For a milder sauce, use milder peppers like Anaheim or poblano peppers. For a spicier sauce, use hotter peppers like habanero or scotch bonnet peppers.
  • Roast the chili peppers: Roasting the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to blend. You can roast the peppers in the oven, on the stovetop, or in a grill.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a bright, refreshing flavor to the sauce. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of sugar in the sauce is adjustable to your taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar or omit it altogether.
  • Store the sauce properly: The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the sauce for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Mint chili sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, sweet or tangy, this sauce is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new way to add some excitement to your meals, give mint chili sauce a try!
