Instructions

1
Let the washed red chili peppers air dry naturally to remove the moisture.
2
Chop into fine granules.
3
Ginger and garlic are both chopped.
4
Add salt and sugar.
5
Stir evenly.
6
Take a clean container and make sure it is free of oil and water, otherwise the chopped chili sauce is prone to spoil.
7
Put the mixed chili into a container, then add a large spoon of high-proof white liquor to seal it, to prevent bacterial growth.
8
Finally, let it ferment at room temperature in a sealed container for a day or two, then transfer it to the refrigerator for cold storage and use it after more than half a month. By then, the taste of the wine will also be gone.
