Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare the Peppers

Remove the stems and seeds from the red chili peppers. Finely chop the peppers and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce Base

In a saucepan, combine the chopped chili peppers, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Stir well to combine.

3. Simmer the Sauce

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the sauce and stir well to thicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5. Finish with Seasonings

Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the sesame oil and salt. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
