The unique flavor of hot and sour sauce requires a shallot, two slices of ginger, three cloves of garlic, two green and red chili peppers each, along with soy sauce, sugar, wine, vinegar, a teaspoon each, three teaspoons of bean paste, and half a tablespoon of cornstarch water.

Stir-fry the chopped shallot, ginger, and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, then add the bean paste and stir-fry. Mix in the other seasonings and half a cup of water, bring to a boil, thicken with cornstarch water, and finally garnish with chopped green and red peppers for color and flavor.
