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.
