Combine garlic, ginger, chipolte, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar in blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a container.

Personal Notes:
This is a favorite of ours from Faegre's, a hip MPLS restaurant in the late '80s. We found this decadent recipe on an obscure food website recently and are lovin' life. Not a bad idea to serve altoids after this meal!
