1/2 mild chili (e.g. serrano), sliced into very thin rings, or 1/4-1/2 tsp. dried chili flakes
Prepare sauce well before serving. Place vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small, non-reactive bowl and whisk or stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust amount of sugar, according to taste. Stir in chili or chili flakes. Allow flavors to meld at least 30 minutes before serving. Stored in a sealed container and refrigerated, sauce will keep up to 5 days. Makes about 1/2 cup dipping sauce.
