30-Minute Meals
An awesome sweet-and-hot sauce for egg rolls, potstickers, chicken wings or stir-fry.
Serves
1/2 cup sauce
Prep Time
10 minutes
Cooking Time
20 minutes
Ingredients
5 cloves garlic, smashed*
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Mayan Sea Salt
1 tsp. Mayan Sea Salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
Directions
Using a mortar & pestle or small food processor, grind garlic, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, and Mayan Sea Salt into a coarse paste. Combine sugar, water, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 min. Stir garlic paste into sugar mixture and continue to simmer until it thickens just slightly into a syrupy consistency, about 10 more min. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature; sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use with a few months.
Recipe Notes
*For a unique umami version, swap fresh garlic cloves for one whole bulb of Black Garlic, cloves peeled.
