This homemade sweet sour chilli sauce is easy to prepare and keeps well in the fridge for months. Suitable as dipping sauce for any fried food, steamboat ingredients, steamed savoury cakes or can also be used to fry vegetables.
If you prefer the sauce to be less spicy, just remove the chilli seeds and do not add small chilli [cili padi]. However, certain red chillies are rather spicy depending on it's origin and seasons.

100 gm red chillies [about 10 pieces] - washed and cut
3 small chillies [cili padi] - optional

5 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup white rice vinegar [used good quality ones]
1/2 cup water
