I just kept tasting it as I went along until it tasted like what I wanted it to. Ingredients: ~2.5 cups of whole dried red chillies. ~1/8 cup of water and 1/8 cup white vinegar ~6 cloves of garlic ~1/4 cup of sugar ~3 tbsp of salt (I used salt crystals) 1. Soak chilli in water+vinegar solution for about 5 days, turning the chillis over once a day to let it soak in the solution. 2. Add everything to a blender (including the vinegar solution) and grind it until you get the desired consistency. I added an additional 1/2 cup warm water to get it into a creamy paste. I didn't separate the chilli skins from the meat. I ground it all together. Sylvia: below is a rough approximation of my sriracha recipe.
