thai chili hot sauce recipe

Thai chili hot sauce is a smooth, thin pepper sauce made with roasted Thai chili peppers, garlic, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and white vinegar. This homemade hot sauce creates a sharp, clean heat with mild smoky notes from roasted peppers, savory depth from garlic and hoisin sauce, and bright acidity from two types of vinegar. Thai chili peppers typically range from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), creating a medium-hot sauce with a fast, clean spice profile. Roasting the peppers before blending softens their raw flavor and adds deeper roasted sweetness. The recipe takes about 50 minutes and produces approximately 20 fl oz (590 ml) of smooth, pourable Thai chili hot sauce. Serve it with noodles, grilled chicken, fried rice, spring rolls, dumplings, pizza, roasted meats, and other savory dishes.
