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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the red chili peppers thoroughly and remove the stems. For a less spicy sauce, you can remove the seeds inside the peppers.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the chili peppers, garlic, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
For a smoother consistency, stir in vegetable oil at this stage (optional).
Step 9
Transfer the sauce into sterilized glass jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
