Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp chili oil
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp chili flakes/powder
- 1 star anise
- 1/8 tsp five-spice powder
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or use Chinese black vinegar (my favorite!)
- 2 scallions, minced
- Pork and shrimp wontons (homemade or store-bought)
Directions
- Place all ingredients for the spicy sauce in a saucepan or skillet. Cook over medium heat to bring it to sizzle, then lower the heat and keep stirring to let the sugar melts. Take care not to burn the chili flakes and garlic.
- Cook for about 5 minutes and then remove from the heat. Have a taste and adjust seasonings as needed. It should be spicy, savory, with just a hint of sweetness and tang
Storage
Cool to room temperature in a glass jar, and store in refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
