Ingredients
- 1 cup Thai red chili peppers , stemmed and roughly chopped
- 4 fat cloves of garlic , quartered
- 2 shallots , roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 15 ounce Can of Tomato Sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- water
Instructions
- Add the chopped Thai chilis to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a regular blade and process for a few seconds until they are finely minced, then scrape into a bowl.
- Add the chopped garlic and onion to the food processor and also process until finely minced.
- Add the oil to a sauté pan on medium-high heat, add the garlic and onion, and cook for about 1 minute or just until fragrant, stirring so they don't burn. Add the Thai chilis and the tomato sauce, bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Add the fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar and mix well.
- Cook for about 5 minutes then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until the sauce is smooth and the pepper seeds and skins have been completely incorporated.
- Taste the sauce and add more sugar, fish sauce or vinegar to taste. If the sauce seems extra thick add a teaspoon or two of water to loosen it. Blend again then pour into a sterilized jar or container.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Notes
- When stemming and chopping the Thai chilis, it's a good idea to wear rubber gloves to protect your skin from the chili seeds.
