This Thai hot sauce recipe, called fire api, is simple to make and has a fantastic spicy flavor! Made with red Thai chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, and salt - this simple condiment brings the heat to anything you add it to.
Remove the stems from the peppers, and place the peppers in a large quart-sized jar (or a blender).
Add the peeled garlic. Pour in enough vinegar to just cover the peppers and garlic. Add a sprinkle of salt to the sauce.
With an immersion blender, blend the sauce until the peppers and garlic have broken down. We like to leave the sauce a little chunky, but for a completely smooth sauce, blend until the seeds have completely pulverized.
Store hot sauce in an air-tight jar in your refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
