Cut the stalk off the red chilies, leaving part of the green bit on.

If using a non-high-powered blender, chop the chilies beforehand.

Blend the chilies, garlic, sugar, and salt until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a jar, leaving the lid off and covering it with a cloth to ferment for five days.

After five days, pour the fermented mixture into a blender.

Add 50 ml of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of arrowroot to the blender.

Blend until smooth and strain to remove any bits, resulting in a traditional sriracha sauce.

For the five-minute version, blend 40 grams of chili, 50 grams of coconut sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until smooth.

Add 65 ml of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sparkling water to the mixture.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of arrowroot to thicken the sauce.

Blend until smooth and strain to achieve a thin, viscous sauce.
