Ingredients
- 1 cup Thai chilis
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 head of garlic (1.5 oz)
- 1+1/4 cup water
Instructions
- 1
Chop the peppers into large pieces. No need to chop them finely as they will be cooked and turned to paste in a food processor. Remove the seeds if you prefer your sauce to be less spicy.

Add the chilis, garlic, and water to a small saucepan, bring it to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes. The water will reduce to about 1/4-1/3 cup less.

Let it cool slightly, then add the mixture to a medium food processor. Blitz until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Stop once or twice to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula.

Strain the pulp into a medium bowl over a fine mesh strainer. Use the same rubber spatula to press down on the liquid as much as possible.

Place the strained liquid back into the saucepan. Add sugar, salt, and vinegar, stir, and let it thicken slightly on medium-low heat f
