Homemade Chili Garlic Sauce
Description
Homemade Chili Garlic Sauce uses red Fresno chili peppers and whole garlic heads, both finely chopped before cooking. The garlic is simmered slowly in heated vegetable oil to mellow its sharpness, then combined with the chopped chilies. The mixture simmers further to develop depth and soften the heat.
The addition of salt, sugar, and vinegar adds seasoning, sweetness, and acidity, rounding out the sauce's flavor profile. The simmering process continues after these are added to integrate the ingredients thoroughly. The result is a thick, bright, and potent sauce with a blend of pungent garlic and moderately spicy chili notes.
This sauce is suitable as a condiment or cooking ingredient and should be stored in sterilized airtight containers in the refrigerator. Using gloves when handling chili peppers is advised to prevent irritation. Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop the sauce to maintain freshness and avoid contamination.
Ingredients
- 20 pieces red Fresno chili peppers (1 pound)
- 2 head garlic Medium large sized, 2.5 oz, whole
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
Instructions
- Peel and wash 2 heads of medium large sized whole garlic (2.5 oz).
- Then, put the peeled and washed garlic into the chopper. Mince the garlic into small pieces, don't need to be fine.
- After that, wash and cut 20 medium sized red Fresno chili peppers (1 pound) into chunks.
- Next, put the cut chili peppers into the chopper and chop until they are smaller pieces. (I separate two times to chop the peppers because my chopper is small. If you have a food processor, you can do it all at once.)
- The following step, pour ½ cup of vegetable oil into the pan. Turn on medium small fire and heat up the oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic slowly into the oil. Level the minced garlic and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- After, add chopped red chili peppers into the pan.
- Mix the garlic and chili peppers well. Then, simmer for 5-6 minutes. Keep stirring once a while.
- Add 1.5 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Mix it well.
- Lastly, let it simmer for another 5-6 minutes. Also, keep stirring once a while.
Notes
- Use gloves when handling chili peppers to protect sensitive skin.
- Adjust the amount and variety of chili peppers for desired spice level, especially if substituting different types.
- Simmer garlic slowly in oil to soften pungency before adding chilies.
- Store sauce in sterilized airtight containers and refrigerate for longevity.
- Use clean, dry spoons to serve to prevent spoilage.
