Sour Plum Chili Sauce

Sour Plum Chili Sauce

Bird's-eye chilies are cut and blended with salt-cured plums aged for months. The fermented fruit brings a tangy depth that balances the fierce heat beautifully.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Wash the bird's eye chilies with clean water and let the surface water dry. The buckets and basins used must be clean and free of oil.

    Use a clean knife to cut each piece into several sections. You need to wear latex gloves while doing it, otherwise your hands will end up like spicy pig trotters.

    Taking out the sour plums, these are the sour plums I pickled with salt for 9 months. They have a wonderfully fragrant taste. Every year in March to May, there will be sour plums, and I always pickle a jar to use as seasoning.
