Cooking tips

  • Never remove the stem before washing—water entering through the stem opening can cause mold. Always wash and dry first.
  • When mixing with sugar, do not mash or stir forcefully—this may release raw chili odor.
  • Always cover the top layer with sugar, and use clean, completely dry containers and tools. Store in the refrigerator after preparation.
  • Slicing 1kg of chilies at once is a large amount; for home use, it’s recommended to halve the quantity.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make large batches and store long-term when chilies are cheap in summer.
  • People looking to easily add deep spicy-sweet flavor to stir-fries and braised dishes.
  • Home cooks who want to create their own cheat-code seasoning to elevate cooking quality.
