Spicy Japanese Garlic-Chili Sauce

Delicious Japanese hot sauce for rolls and sushi! This is a classic Japanese sauce that is used to dress salads, it is added to the filling of some rolls instead of wasabi or Japanese mayonnaise, and is also served as an independent sauce for sushi. There are several recipes for spicy sauce, they differ greatly in composition. I chose the one with the simplest and most accessible ingredients.
