Thai Sweet and Sour Sauce (x2 scale)
Recipe by user david
A quick Thai-style sweet-and-sour dipping sauce made with vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and chili-garlic heat.
This versatile Thai sweet and sour sauce is a simple, long-keeping condiment that balances tangy rice (or white) vinegar with sugar, soy sauce, and spicy chili-garlic sauce. It’s especially good with Thai appetizers, but also works as a dipping sauce for grilled foods or a bright finishing sauce alongside soups. For best results, cook just until slightly thickened—this sauce will continue to thicken a bit as it cools—then cool completely before serving or storing.
- 2 cups 2 cups (400 g) sugar
- 2 cups 2 cups (480 g) rice vinegar or vinegar
Heat the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan on high heat for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
- 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (64 g) soy sauce
- 1⁄2 tsp 1⁄2 tsp (3 g) salt
Add soya sauce and salt and stir.
Continue cooking at moderately high heat for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens somewhat. Remove from the fire.
- 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup chili-garlic sauce
- 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp garlic, chopped
Add chili-garlic sauce and the garlic. Stir to blend and let cool. Serve.
Notes
This is a generic sauce that works well with most Thai appetizers and can even be served with soups and grills.
It is easy to make in quantity and has a long life.
