This is a method for making homemade Tabasco using dried chili peppers (like Takanotsume) that you can find nearby. It can be eaten after 2 weeks, and it's said to be perfect after aging for 3 years! The origin of this recipe: As a fan of spicy foods, I make them in large quantities, and I prefer homemade spicy ingredients. Mixing several types of chili peppers makes the aroma more complex and delicious. Try using Tabasco as a chili paste for things other than pizza! It can be stored at room temperature, which is very convenient.

Ingredients

  1. 10 gchili peppers (such as Takanotsume)
  2. 1 teaspoon (5 g)salt (or lemon salt)
  3. 1/3 cupwater (70cc)
  4. 1/4 cupvinegar (50cc)
  5. Optional
  6. About 3/4 inch garlic (from a tube)
  7. 1small clove garlic, if using fresh

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place 10g of chili peppers (it's okay if some seeds are included) and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

  2. 2

    You can use powdered chili, ichimi, pepper powder, Takanotsume, or anything else, but the finer it is, the nicer the final product will look.

  3. 3

    Put water in a small pot and bring it to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the chili peppers and salt in the bowl to soak them. Cover immediately with a plate or similar.

  4. 4

    Be careful not to inhale the steam when adding boiling water and when using the blender, as it can be very spicy and make you cough.

  5. 5

    Cover with a small plate or similar until the water cools, and let it sit for at least 1 hour. You can leave it for a day if you prefer.

  6. 6

    Letting it sit for a day to soak properly will make it easier to blend finely in the blender.

  7. 7

    If adding garlic, grate it before adding.

  8. 8

    Once the chili peppers are sufficiently soaked, add vinegar and blend. (It's tough, but if you don't have a blender, you can use a mortar and pestle.)

  9. 9

    Straining it will make it more like commercial Tabasco, but even if you don't, the fibers will become smooth as it ages. Strain with a sieve if you like.

  10. 10

    Sterilize the storage jar with alcohol or boiling water to prevent bacteria from entering.

  11. 11

    If using fresh ingredients, do not add water and blend as is. If you use green chili peppers, it will become green jalapeño sauce.

  12. 12

    In our house, we use homemade Tabasco in various dishes like instant kimchi and chige nabe, so we make it in 5 times the quantity.
