Wash the red chilies thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Remove the stems, and roughly chop them. If you prefer a milder sauce, you may remove the seeds.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped chilies, garlic, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Blend until you achieve a slightly chunky consistency. Add more water if needed to adjust the consistency.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Pour the blended chili-garlic mixture into the saucepan. Cook while stirring continuously for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, and the raw smell of garlic dissipates. Be cautious as the mixture may splatter.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chili garlic sauce to cool completely.
Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Stir well before each use and enjoy as a condiment or dipping sauce!
