sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: flour

Arrowroot is a gluten-free thickener.

Roughly chop large red chilies, leaving seeds in for more heat or removing them for a milder sauce.

Roughly chop garlic cloves.

Pulse the chopped chilies and garlic in a food processor until combined, not to a paste.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water, then add vinegar, salt, and optional fish sauce.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the garlic softens, simmering for about 5 minutes.

Mix potato starch with a little water to create a slurry.

Add the potato starch slurry to the saucepan and gently cook until the sauce thickens, then turn off the heat.

Allow the sauce to cool; it will thicken further as it cools.

Transfer the sauce to a jar and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
