Vinegar-based hot sauce is a thin, tangy homemade chili sauce made with fresh red hot peppers, distilled white vinegar, salt, garlic, onion, carrot, and red bell pepper. This recipe creates a bright sauce with clean acidity, savory depth, and layered pepper heat. The vegetables add body and mild sweetness, while white vinegar provides the sharp flavor that makes this style of hot sauce easy to pair with many dishes. The sauce takes about 40 minutes, including 15 minutes of preparation and 25 minutes of cooking and finishing. One batch makes approximately 1½ cups (360 ml) of filtered hot sauce. Serve it with fried eggs, grilled pork, fried chicken, roasted meats, rice, phở, bánh mì, spring rolls, noodles, and other savory dishes.
