Ka Honu's Hawaiian Style Chili Pepper Water

[seemore]

I found this in the 'Tried & True' recipes a while back, and had been meaning to try it. 
Here is the basic recipe:

2-4 small dried hot red chili peppers
1 t rice vinegar
1 quarter-sized slice of fresh ginger, bruised
1/2 clove garlic, peeled, cut into thin strips
1/2 t salt
1 C hot water

Combine first 5 ingredients in a clean, sterilized bottle/jar.  Pour in hot water, cover and let mixture steep at room temperature overnight.
In the morning it is ready to use.
Keep refrigerated.

Wow - is it ever good!
Ka Honu, how long will this keep?
One more shot - to go with the salami we made this weekend too.

Interesting. So you just give
It a splash. What else would you put it on?

Hi, Mike!  Mrs here - I am thinking I will use it on Chinese dumplings, on grilled meats, a drop or two in soups, , , , I
am going to try it on quite a few things!

Hell if I know.  I make it several times a year and it's always gone before it goes bad.  I'm guessing six months or so in the fridge.

Send salami.

I've made it a few times. I liked it so much I had added it to the recipe site. It reminded me of a clear hot sauce that Crystal use to make, but Ka Honu's is more robust.
