Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

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

  2. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Finish with Seasonings

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