½ cupwater
¼ cupwhite miso paste
2-4tablespoonsseeded and chopped habaneros (about 1-3 habaneros)
black pepper to taste
Instructions
Wash and prep all the ingredients. Use caution when chopping the habaneros, as the seeds can burn your skin.
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender. Start by adding less habaneros and add more while blending until the desired spice level is reached. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer. The sauce will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days. For longer storage, transfer to the freezer and thaw completely before using.
The sauce will thicken as it sits. Feel free to stir in a little more water, as needed, before serving. Enjoy!
