3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 red chili peppers, minced (for more heat leave the seeds in, for less remove them)
1 tsp ginger, grated
½ cup sugar
¼ cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
½ cup water
1 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water
salt to taste

In a small saucepan, combine garlic, chili pepper, ginger, sugar, rice vinegar and water. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for five minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour cornstarch mixture into the sauce whisking constantly until it thickens. Allow mixture to cool and store it in a mason jar in the refrigerator.
