Sweet Chilli Sauce

By Rhonda Parkinson, About.com

Paprika, maple syrup, and Thai chillies are combined with Chinese seasonings in this fusion recipe that makes a sweet alternative to more traditional Asian chilli sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 5 Thai Chillies chopped very small
  • 500 ml maple syrup (I use Bi Lo Maple Flavored Syrup)
  • 3 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp sherry
  • 4 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Preparation:

Mix together chillies, maple syrup, vinegar, sherry, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, pepper and paprika.
Simmer ingredients in a saucepan, stirring frequently over low heat until thickened (about 30 minutes).
This recipe was submitted by Ted, who says that besides being used as a sauce, it is delicious as a marinade for stir-fried chicken thighs.
