Sauce Preparation

1. Combine Sauce Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.

2. Mix and Heat

Stir the mixture well and place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

3. Thicken Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering sauce while stirring continuously. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

4. Cool and Store

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sweet chili sauce to cool. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Serving Preparation

5. Prepare Garnish

When ready to serve, chop fresh cilantro and set aside. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve

Drizzle the prepared sweet chili sauce over your dish, and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
