Ingredients
- 15 Dried red chillies
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Oil (preferably sesame or olive oil)
- 10 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
Directions
Step 1
Soak the dried red chillies in 1 cup of hot water for 20 minutes to soften them.
Step 2
Drain the soaked chillies and reserve the soaking water. Add the chillies to a blender with a few tablespoons of reserved water and blend into a smooth paste. Add more water as needed to reach a smooth consistency.
Step 3
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
Step 4
Add the chilli paste to the saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, erythritol, and white pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you desire more sweetness, add a touch more erythritol.
Step 7
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using.
