Fiery Fusion Garlic Chili Paste Recipe

"I can't find garlic chili paste locally and I'm waaaaay too cheap to order it online to be delivered. This is what I can put together at home, with ingredients I typically have in my pantry or easily found in my rural grocery store. You can use a sugar alternative. Servings depends on how much of the paste you're using."
