Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces Dried red chilies
- 12 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 4 tablespoons Oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
De-seed the dried red chilies by cutting them with scissors and removing the seeds for a milder sauce.
Soak the chilies in hot water for 30 minutes or until they are softened.
Peel garlic and ginger. Crush or mince both for a finer texture.
Drain the chilies and blend them into a smooth paste using a small amount of water reserved from soaking.
Heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the red chili paste to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until oil starts releasing from the sides.
Reduce the heat slightly and add soy sauce, vinegar, tomato ketchup, salt, and sugar. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Pour in water to adjust the consistency according to your preference. Cook for another 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Once the sauce is thickened to your desired consistency, remove from heat and let it cool before storing in an airtight container.
