Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Cilantro-Chili Pepper Sauce.
Step 1
Start by carefully removing the stems and seeds from the red chile peppers with a thin knife, keeping the peppers whole for maximum flavor.
Step 2
Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and toast the peppers, turning them frequently.
Step 3
You’ll know they’re ready when about a quarter of their skins blacken and loosen, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once they reach that point, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover them with plastic wrap to let them steam for 15 minutes.
Step 5
This steaming process will make peeling the skins a breeze! After the time is up, simply discard the skins and chop the peppers into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
In the same skillet, drizzle in some sesame oil and warm it over medium heat.
Step 7
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and soft.
Step 8
Now, turn up the heat to medium-high and toss in your chopped peppers along with a pinch of salt.
Step 9
Stir everything together and let it cook for about a minute until it’s hot and sizzling, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 10
Next, pour in malt vinegar, brown sugar, and fish sauce, stirring to combine.
Step 11
Bring this vibrant mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 12
This step allows all those wonderful flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 13
Once the simmering is done, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender.
Step 14
Add soy sauce, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and green onion to the blender for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 15
Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy, creating a delicious sauce that’s perfect for drizzling or dipping.
Step 16
Serve it immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
