In this video, we make a simple fermented take on Hawaiian chili pepper water. Since we grew our own Hawaiian chili peppers, we had to give this recipe a shot. Most recipes are not fermented, but this version from Fiery Ferments allows the mixture to ferment for about 1 week, with tasty results!

***********************************************
Ingredients*:
5-10 Hawaiian chili peppers
2-3 slices fresh ginger
1 clove garlic
2 cups water + 1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp rice vinegar

*We prepared a double batch in this video.

Thanks for watching Pepper Geek!

  1. When I ferment a batch of peppers, I always retain the water, bottle it up, and store it in the fridge for use in sauces, soups, or other dishes. Depending on the type of peppers used, this water can have an awesome taste. I believe this recipe captures a similar flavor.

  2. Super easy recipe. I would love to try with hotter varieties. Going to get a copy of that book.

  3. You guys inspired me to sell pepper 🌶️ Sauce and everyone loves it. So big thanks to you both.

  4. You said these peppers are native to Hawaii. 🤔 The Hawaiian Chile is not native, but was actually introduced to Hawaii around 1815, and was called ‘nioi, by the Hawaiians, a generic name given to all chiles with second names based on its shape such as ‘nioi kamakahala’ for round or ‘eye shaped’ types.

  5. I've never heard of this before but sounds interesting! I'll have to give this a try soon

  6. Looks interesting, will have to give it a go. Just with the salt are you able to give a weight? Just here in Australia we don't usually use kosher salt so it can get a bit confusing as to what a tablespoon is. Looks like you used rock salt here?

  7. How fun! We always have a bottle of chili pepper water in our fridge. In Hawaii we often put it in stew! But you can really dash it in anything from saimin (Hawaiian-style ramen) to Japanese curry or onto your eggs of course. Never thought to add ginger though. I'll give it a try next time.

  8. Hawaiian Chili Pepper water is not typically fermented. I kept my Hawaiian Chilis over winter indoors last year and the bush was full of red chilis this year !

  9. They sell something similar in Puerto Rico in small Bacaradi rum bottles at the side of the road. It's called Pique, and it's awesome. It's nice to see a new video pop up.
