  • Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

  • In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, chili paste, tamari and rice wine vinegar.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sauté the garlic, shallot, chilis, and green onions for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the chili sauce. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
