Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Spice Grinder
  • Thick Bottomed Pan

Ingredients

  • 10 cloves Garlic
  • 1 TBSP Dark Soya Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1/4 Salt
  • 6 TBSP Oil Sesame Oil Pref, you could use more to make this a runny sauce
  • 1/2 TBSP Vinegar
  • 1 TBSP Tomato Paste

Instructions
 

  • Soak the chillies in warm water for 15-20 mins.
  • Deseed (or as is), blend the chillies along with garlic to a slightly coarse paste (if you dessed, you will get a smoother paste)
  • Heat oil, cook this chilly paste till the raw smell of garlic reduces. Once oil separates (which will take approx 5-7 mins), add vinegar and rest of the ingredients one by one.
  • Cook well for 8-9 mins. Cool and transfer to sterile container. Use as required with a clean dry spoon everytime
