Method

Blend together all of the ingredients until thoroughly emulsified and smooth, either in a food processor or by hand. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with an extra dash of soy sauce or sugar to obtain a full, rich, spicy flavor. Store, refrigerated, in an impeccably clean container. Bring to room temperature and shake well before using.
