Steps

30 Min

1

Add the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic cloves, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using) in to a non-stick pan. If you’re using dried chili instead of sambal oelek, add it to the pan at the same time.
2

Heat over medium heat while stirring, to dissolve the sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
3

Add the chillies and mix through. Let it cook for a few minutes until it’s slightly thickened (2- 5 minutes)
4

Mix the mazina and water into a smooth slurry and add this to the sauce as well.
5

While stirring frequently (to prevent the sauce from burning at the bottom), simmer the sauce for a further 2 – 5 minutes or until it reaches a desired thickness. Remember, the sauce thickens as it cools as well. If it thickens too much, add a little extra water to thin it out.
6

Pour into glass jars with air-tight lids (OR heated and sterilized jars to store for longer). I used a old Mayonnaise bottle.
7

Cool to room temperature and store in the fridge.
