Singapore Chili Sauce
How to Make It
1
Rinse and drain fermented black beans.
2
Cut stems and seeds from chiles (leave some seeds in if you want it spicier).
3
Mince chiles in a food processor.
4
In a bowl, smoothly blend cornstarch with 1/2 cup chicken broth; then blend with remaining broth and the ketchup.
5
Stir in beans and chiles.
*Salted fermented black beans contribute a complex pungency; find them Asian markets and online; or use 1/2 cup soy sauce.
Ingredients
