Ingredients
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 100 g Chinese garlic pickled pepper paste
- 2 spoonfuls black truffle paste
- 1 tbsp black truffle oil
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp honey syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 20 g butter
- to taste red chili peppers
Instructions
- 1Scorching the red bell pepper with a torch
Place the red bell pepper on a metal wire rack and use a kitchen blowtorch to evenly scorch the skin until thoroughly blackened to develop a deep, smoky flavor.
Tip: Keep the blowtorch moving evenly across the skin until it is thoroughly blackened. - 2Adding chili peppers to the blender
Chopped red chili peppers are transferred into the blender jar as the base for the hot sauce.
Tip: Use a mix of chili varieties if you want to adjust the spice level. - 3Adding black truffle seasoning
Black truffle seasoning is poured directly into the blender jar alongside the previously added peppers.
Tip: Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for a balanced aroma. - 4Drizzling honey syrup
Honey syrup is drizzled into the blender container to balance the heat and acidity of the sauce.
Tip: Drizzle slowly around the edges to help it mix efficiently. - 5Adding black truffle paste
Black truffle paste is scooped from a jar and added into the blender container with the other ingredients.
Tip: Use two full spoonfuls for a rich and prominent truffle aroma. - 6Blending the ingredients
The blender blades run to thoroughly mix and puree all the ingredients together into a thick, smooth sauce.
Tip: Blend until completely smooth to achieve the ideal texture. - 7Incorporating butter into the warm sauce
Slice fresh pieces of butter and drop them directly into the blended hot sauce inside the container, allowing the residual warmth to melt and emulsify the mixture.
Tip: Make sure the sauce is still warm so the butter melts smoothly and enriches the texture.
