Instructions

  1. Remove the seeds and white membrane from chili peppers. I recommend wearing gloves when doing this. Mince the chilis as fine as you can make them. Use a microplane to zest the yuzu.
  2. Place the chili, yuzu zest and salt in a mortar and pound with a pestle until it turns into a smooth paste. Add the juice from the yuzu and mix well until the sauce is the consistency you want it.
  3. Because of the salt content it will keep for a month in the fridge, or longer if you freeze it.
