Cooking tips 💡

• Slicing chilies lengthwise rather than finely chopping them makes them easier to pick up with chopsticks together with the anchovies after cooking.
• Be sure to turn on the exhaust fan and wear a mask when stir-frying green chilies, as the spicy fumes can fill the entire kitchen.
• If the seasoning is too mild, the spiciness will feel one-dimensional and flat. Adjust the saltiness firmly using soy sauce and anchovy sauce for a truly balanced, savory flavor.
