Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 5 pieces Hawaiian chili peppers (or substitute with Thai bird chilies)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Wash the Hawaiian chili peppers thoroughly. Use a knife to carefully pierce each pepper a few times to release its heat into the liquid.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin pieces, approximately 1-inch long.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sea salt.
Add the pierced Hawaiian chili peppers to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the chili pepper water to a clean glass bottle or jar. Ensure that the peppers, garlic, and ginger are included for continued infusion.
Seal the bottle or jar tightly and refrigerate. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 24 hours before using.
Shake well before use, and enjoy as a condiment over your favorite dishes!
