Ingredients
Instructions
Dissolve the Sugar
In a small bowl or a glass bottle with a lid, pour in the hot water. Add the sugar and stir (or shake) until it has completely dissolved.
Combine the Flavors
Add the minced garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and sliced chilies (if using) to the sweetened water.
Mix and Rest
Stir everything together or, if using a bottle, seal it and shake vigorously to combine. For the best flavor, allow the sauce to stand for at least 15-30 minutes to let the garlic and chili infuse the liquid.
Serve
Add the optional fresh coriander just before serving. This sauce is perfect as a dipping sauce for fritters, or drizzled generously over fried noodles, rice, grilled meats, and seafood. It can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
