Thai Sweet Chili Sauce for Spring Rolls or Fried Tofu

1. 1

   In the blender, puree together all the ingredients, except for the last two.

2. 2

   Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens up a bit and the garlic-pepper bits begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.

5. 5

   Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer one mor minute.

6. 6

   The cornstarch will help the sauce to thicken slightly thereby causing nice suspension of the garlic-pepper bits; otherwise, you get a thin sauce with all the little pieces floating at the top.

7. 7

   Let cool completely before storing in a glass jar and refrigerate.
