When you don't have much of an appetite, many of us turn to strongly flavored foods, and one of them is chili. But are you actually good at making spicy dishes? Today, let's share some tips for making them.
1. Red Thai chilies are all-purpose. Regardless of the cooking method or the desired level of spiciness, it's always good to have some on hand. Adding one to three to a dish will effectively increase its heat.
2. Thai chilies can be paired with moderately spicy beauties peppers or sweet bell peppers.
3. Green chilies can be used in stir-fries or in soups, such as in dishes like Boiled Fish or Green Chili and Perilla Steamed Fish. While not very spicy, their fresh aroma can enhance the flavor of the dish.
4. The timing for adding chili is important. Generally, for stir-fries, add them at the beginning. For soups, add them just before serving after the soup is fully cooked.
5. Additionally, for those who aren't used to very spicy food, you can add a little vinegar to a dish that is too spicy to significantly reduce the heat.
