Homemade Asian Hot Sauce with Thai Peppers
My Homemade Asian Hot Sauce is a flavorful sauce that is similar to sriracha, though a little thinner and smoother, with a slightly deeper flavor. This is my go to sauce on any Asian food, and pizza.

- Add vinegar to mixture and blend.
- Run through food mill on finest setting and pour into saucepan.

Notes
The PH of hot sauce needs to be below 4.6 to be shelf stable, for home use I recommend aiming for keeping it under 4.0.
If the sauce is too mild I recommend adding more vinegar, however increasing the ratio of rice vinegar will raise the PH. White vinegar will keep the PH level low. If you want things even hotter, try my Carolina Reaper hot sauce recipe too!
