Introduce the recipe for fresh chili sauce, highlighting its spiciness and addictive nature.

Use a ratio of 2:1 for green to red chilies, explaining the flavor differences between them.

Cut the chilies directly into the food processor using scissors to avoid irritation from the chilies.

Chop the garlic and ginger in the same manner and combine them with the chilies in a bowl.

Heat oil on the stove until it smokes, then pour it over the chopped ingredients gradually to ensure even cooking.

Mix the ingredients well after adding the hot oil.

Season the mixture with at least a couple of teaspoons of sea salt, adjusting to taste.

Add a touch of Chinese black vinegar to balance the flavors, mentioning that it's optional.

Optionally add MSG to enhance the flavor of the sauce.

Spoon the finished sauce into airtight jars for storage, noting it will last in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
