Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Red chili peppers (Thai or Fresno)
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 120 milliliters White vinegar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
Wash the red chili peppers thoroughly and remove the stems. For a less spicy sauce, you can remove the seeds inside the peppers.
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a blender, combine the chili peppers, garlic, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature.
Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard any solids left in the sieve.
For a smoother consistency, stir in vegetable oil at this stage (optional).
Transfer the sauce into sterilized glass jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
