Tips

For a tasty meal, I pan-sear tofu. After step #6 below, I pour the whole mixture into the frying pan and let it all finish cooking together. Mmmm.


Directions

1) Blanch red chiles for 2-3 minutes in boiling water.
2) Remove and discard skin from chiles (I scrape the insides apart with a spoon).
3) Mush up the red chiles until they have a paste-like consistency.
4) Mix the chiles with all the remaining ingredients, except the water.
5) Heat the mixture on medium-high in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir frequently.
6) When the mixture starts to boil, add water. Mix thoroughly.
7) Turn down the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered at a slow boil until the sauce thickens to whatever consistency works best for you.
8) Enjoy!
