Homemade HOT chili paste, and by hot I mean super strong (for me anyway). But still a very good heat increaser for some of my recipes. I think it’s especially suited for different casseroles or mincemeat sauce. A spoon is enough to give the dish a nice touch of spice.
Making spicy hot chili garlic sauce is super easy. I like to think of it as an Asian salsa. It combines those red chilies/piri-piri and garlic with sugar, salt, a little vinegar to create the right texture.
The sauce will be quite spicy once you make it. But the flavor will become milder and more balanced over time.
You should always keep the sauce in air-tight container in the fridge so it stays fresh, for up to 2 weeks .
