Updated [Recipe, I Guess] Fermented Hot Sauce (sh.itjust.works)

I went to the lady I buy vegetables from and asked for some mild, flavorful chilies. Cutting the first one I could tell they were not mild. When life gives you 500 grams of the wrong chilies, you make hot sauce. The flavor is great, but wrong for the dish I was making.

So, I rehydrated some dried chilies I had (which are very mild with a nice slight funk to them) and chucked it all in the blender with some garlic. It looks gross. In about 5-7 days there should be a sludge at the bottom, and watery goop at the top.

Once it will strip paint it goes into a saucepan for about 30-45 minutes to reduce. Then I will add salt and vinegar. It should be delicious.

Yay hot sauce! I like to add other flavorings, ginger, fenugreek, or cumin, etc.

Here is the after. Its very hot, I used it to top a variation on Chicken Katsu Curry today. I know that isn't a hot dish but variety is the spice of life or some such.

This is a 'burns the top of your mouth, and inside of your lips, but still has flavor' hot sauce.

ETA: another photo from a few days in to the ferment.
