How to make it

  • In a small bowl, combine tomato paste, chili flakes, and chili powder, adding a couple drops of water if necessary to create a smooth paste. Set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce and mix well until sugar has dissolved.
  • Add chili-tomato paste to skillet and incorporate into hot oil. Cook about five minutes and transfer to a bowl. Mix in hoisin sauce and divide among six small dipping bowls immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • ****************
  • Guests COULD potentially use this starter on it's own for dipping, but it may or may not last them as long as they want it...and it's going to be a little oily. Plus, it may be too spicy for some, or not hot enough for others. Provide a variety of ingredients for guests to add to their starter. Soy sauce and vinegar will tame the chilis for those who prefer a milder sauce, while sesame chili oil and chinese mustard will enhance the spicy flavors for those who like it hot.
