Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe – Easy, Spicy & Sweet Asian-Inspired Dip

Wash and prepare the red bell peppers. Remove the seeds and the pith and then chop into smaller pieces. Transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped onions, cloves of garlic and red chili peppers (remove the stalk). Add 2 cups of water and then pulse (do not overblend).

Transfer the mixture to a large pot. Add ½ cup of water and stir a bit. Season with some salt and add the sugar and vinegar. Let this boil using medium heat. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.

While waiting for the mixture to boil, make the slurry. Simply dissolve the cornstarch in equal parts of water. Stir well and make sure there are no lumps.

Once the mixture boils, pour the slurry gradually while continuously stirring. Stir and simmer until it thickens. Turn the heat off.

Let the sauce cool for at least an hour before transferring into jars.
