By weight, two parts green onions, two parts ginger, two parts garlic, one part red Thai chiles. Spoonful of whole cumin and coriander seed, make a ~6-8% salt solution and fill the container.

Throw it in the fridge for a week or three. Burp it carefully every day or three.

At the end of this, we're going to drain it - preserving the liquid - and then throw it in a blender, pouring the liquid back a bit at a time to thin it out to however thin you want it, and that's how I make hot sauce.

A lidded jar full of garlic, green onions, ginger and chiles.
