By Hester

Ingredients

• 1 cup unbleached cane sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (you can find this at any asian market, usually it's the korean brand with the bright green top.

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, comine the sugar, water, vinegar, garlic and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Turn to medium-low and keep cooking until the sauce is a little syrupy (18-25 min).

Remove from heat and add the chili sauce--mix well; it will turn a nice amber-orange.
Let cool to room temperature, then keep refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to three weeks.

When using, heat a little bit until it thins to a slightly syrupy consistency
