Receta Sweet Chili Sauce
The dressing for the Sesame Peanut Noodle Salad I made recently called for sweet chili sauce. I didn't have any sweet chili sauce and wasn't sure I wanted to buy a whole jar of it. So, I went looking for a recipe to make some myself. I found a recipe on food.com - which I cannot find now. I removed the link from my Sesame Peanut Noodles recipe, because I was going to post the chili sauce recipe separately. And then I forgot to actually start this post and save the link here.
I have searched food.com repeatedly, and there are lots of sweet chili sauce recipes, but I just can't find this one.
Sweet Chili Sauce
adapted from a recipe on food.com
Ingredients:
- 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 T cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- dash cloves
- dash allspice
- dash salt
Directions:
In small saucepan, mix all ingredients.
Simmer over low heat until thickened.
Store in glass jar in refrigerator.
The original recipe did not call for any chili flakes - which seemed weird since it's called sweet chili sauce - so I added some. Since I've never actually had sweet chili sauce, I'm not sure if this tastes like the kind you'd buy in the store or not, but it is a nice flavorful sauce, and it worked really well in my noodle salad - both times I made it. (so far)
Now, what else can I use this sauce for? Because, even though I did not buy a whole jar just to make the Sesame Peanut Noodles, I do have quite a bit of yummy sauce.
I recently saw an ad for Papa Murphy's Thai Chicken Pizza that I'm going to try making real soon - even though I haven't tried the 'real' thing yet. I'm not sure what else. Any ideas?
