CHEF JOHN'S THAI-STYLE SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup cold fresh water and vinegar in a saucepan. Whisk in Asian fish sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, sambal chili sauce, and cornstarch. Whisk until cornstarch disappears. Place over medium-high heat and bring up to a simmer stirring occasionally. As it bubbles, it will start to thicken up. Remove pan from heat.
• Whisk garlic and chili into hot mixture. Add fresh lime juice; whisk again. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature before checking for seasonings.
• If not using immediately, transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Refrigerate.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook in batches, if necessary, until nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• At the same time, heat a small amount of water to boiling in a small saucepan. Add carrots and boil until just starting to get tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; stir in onion, white parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, Sriracha, lime juice, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Add cooked chicken, carrots, and peanut sauce to the onion mixture. Stir in beans, scallion greens, and basil until well mixed.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring often, until well blended and heated through, 30 to 40 minutes. The sauce should be a little thin as it cooks; if not, add water until desired consistency.

THAI CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the salsa, peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, jalapeno, Thai chili sauce, garlic and ginger; pour over chicken. , Cover and cook on low until chicken is tender, 5-6 hours. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with rice if desired.

THAI SWEET CHILI SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the vinegar, sugar, water, fish sauce, sherry, garlic, and pepper flakes to a saucepan or pot.
• Bring to a rolling boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium and let boil for 10 minutes, or until reduced by half. (Note that the vinegar will be quite pungent as it burns off; rice vinegar is less strong than regular white vinegar.)
• While the mixture is boiling, dissolve the cornstarch into the cool water in a small bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir to incorporate and continue stirring and cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Then remove from the heat and taste-test.
• Pour sauce into a small bowl or jar and serve as a condiment, dip, or marinade.

THAI CHILI BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir the chili-garlic sauce, garlic, lime juice, and white wine together in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; allow the mixture to simmer until reduced to about 1/3 its original volume, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to about 1/3 its original volume, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat the medium low. Whisk the cooled garlic mixture into the cream. Add the butter to the mixture about 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking vigorously to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
• It's important to have the first set of liquid to cool so when you add it to the cream and butter it doesn't curdle.
