Ingredients

  • 8 ounces water
  • 2 ounces white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Hawaiian rock sea salt you can sub in any sea salt or kosher salt
  • Hawaiian chili peppers sliced (add anywhere from 3-20, or as many as you can fit - you CAN sub in other spicy chili peppers)
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2-3 fresh ginger slices
  • Splash of soy sauce and/or Worcestershire sauce if desired

Instructions

  • Add the ingredients to a small pan and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat immediately and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cool, then transfer to a sterilized bottle. Use as needed. The longer it sits, the more the peppers and other flavors will infuse the water/vinegar mixture.

Notes

This will keep in the refrigerator for about a year or so.
Heat Factor: Medium. You'll get some good zestiness with this recipe!
