Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce by the Ginger People

This is a truly delicious sweet ginger chili sauce. It is has a great balance of sweet and spiciness and I just love how the ginger flavor comes through. It tastes like fresh ginger!

What I also like is the ingredients (see below), very simple yet very effective. The cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce. I would not have minded if they would have used xanthan gum instead of the cornstarch. Cornstarch masks flavors more than xanthan gum, but as is, it is a delicious flavorful sauces. And I like it that it has no preservatives such as benzoates or sorbates, but uses a vinegar to bring down the pH and act as a preservative.

It is great as a dipping sauce with crispy spring rolls and pot stickers, but goes also very with meats and seafood.

Ingredients: cane sugar, water, distilled white vinegar, roasted red pepper puree, dehydrated garlic, ginger puree, sweet ginger pulp, crushed chilies, cornstarch.
