Sweet Asian Dipping Sauce

sweetchilidip

This is a very yummy sweet-tangy-aromatic sauce that I first tried at Dagmar's. She served it with chicken skewers, but this was so good I could have eaten it with a spoon. It goes equally well with dumplings, something fried, spring rolls, shrimp... whatever, really. It's not bad dipping lettuce or veggies in either!

Dagmar used fresh chili, I didn't have any at home so I used a bit of sambal oelek which is basically crushed chili in oil. I also played a bit with the proportions. Feel free to experiment!

Sweet Asian Dipping Sauce
Serves 2

75 ml rice vinegar
80 g sugar
1-2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1/2 - 1 tsp sambal oelek
1 tbsp roasted peanuts, finely chopped

Mix rice vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and let it reduce for a few minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool. Then, stir in all remaining ingredients. You might want to add a bit more rice vinegar if the sauce is too thick at this point.
