Thai Sweet Pepper Sauce

 

1 tablespoon, vegetable oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 cup, sugar

1/2 teaspoon, kosher or sea salt

3/4 cup, cider vinegar

1 teaspoon, red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon, cayenne pepper

 

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add

the garlic, and sauté, stirring, until the garlic becomes yellow, 1 to 2 minutes

more. Add the sugar, salt, vinegar, pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper, and cook,

stirring, until the sauce boils and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.

Boil until the mixture coats a spoon, about 8 minutes.

Transfer the sauce to a bowl, and let cool; the sauce will thicken to the

consistency of maple syrup.

Yields about 1 cup.
