Sweet and a little spicy. Our basic condiment in the house. Very quick and simple to make. Based on the Lemon Grass Restaurant's cookbook The Best of Vietnamese & Thai Cooking . We always have a jar on hand in the frig. Many different ground chili paste nomenclatures. If unsure, read the ingredients: red chili peppers, salt, vinegar, and sesame oil are basic to all of them. Usually in a clear plastic jar with a green or red plastic lid. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons hot ground chili paste |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar |
2/3 cup water |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
Directions:
1. Combine everything, except cilantro, in a small sauce pan and mix.
2. Once blended, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in cliantro.
