Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh red chili peppers thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and chop them roughly. Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Onion and Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chili Peppers

    Add the chopped chili peppers to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.

  3. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the vinegar, salt, and sugar. Blend until smooth. If you like a bit more tang, add the lemon juice at this stage.

  4. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add ground black pepper to enhance the flavor, depending on your preference.

Storing

  1. 6

    Store the Sauce

    Pour the hot chili sauce into a clean, airtight container. Let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
