Open Source: Chinese Hot Chili Sauce

I just happen to have leftover shallots so I had the idea of making an aromatic hot chilli sauce with some of the spices I have around in my spice cabinet. :) It actually turned out really well, smells amazing and it really spices up any food you add it to. Check it out, it's super easy to make.
 

INGREDIENTS:
5-6 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 whole shallot (chopped)
1 tbspoon fermented black beans
3 cups of whole dry red chili peppers
1 tspoon of sesemi oil
1 cup of olive oil
sea salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
*Note: make sure there's no water in the blender or jar when you store the sauce, it'll keep longer.


1. Blend chili peppers in blender/food processor into bits (you can try cutting it too, but it's kinda tough to cut dry peppers)

2. Heat the olive oil in the pan till hot, stir fry the chopped shallots till lightly browned
3. Lower the heat to medium low and add in black beans and red chili flakes, stir fry for 3 minutes (you can hear the popping sounds of the flakes in the oil, it smells awesome :) )
4. Add in the minced garlic and salt and turn off the heat
5. Drizzle the sesemi oil on the sauce and let it sit to cool.


Store the sauce in a glass jar, if you kept everything clean it'll probably keep for a coupe of months in the frige. :)
