8 servings
- 6 medium red fresno chilies or red jalapeños (about 4 oz), stems removed, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped chilies and garlic in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely minced, about 10 one-second pulses — the mixture should be coarsely textured, not a smooth paste.

Add the sugar, rice vinegar, 1/2 cup water, fish sauce, and salt to a small saucepan. Stir in the minced chili-garlic mixture and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
