                                Ingredients
- 2-3 Thai chilies see note
 - 1 clove garlic optional
 - ¼ cup white vinegar
 
Instructions
- Optional step: char the chilies and garlic (if using) by placing them on a dry skillet over high heat until charred spots are formed on one side. Roll/flip them over and char the other side.
 - Pound the chilies and garlic in a mortar and pestle into a paste, then add the vinegar and stir to mix. If making a large batch, blend all ingredients in a blender.
 - Store in the fridge in a sealed container and it should last indefinitely.
 
Notes
- You can use other types of chilies, even milder ones if your heat tolerance isn't high, but I do prefer the flavour of red or orange (i.e. ripe) chilies than green.
