Cooking tips
- When handling large quantities of green chilies, wear nitrile or plastic gloves—capsaicin can cause intense burning on the skin.
- When preparing stock-grade mackerel, ensure the backbone and spines are fully removed during cleaning so the final product is smooth and easy to eat.
- After dicing red chilies, gently pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture—this helps preserve the vibrant green color of the green chilies in the finished dish, keeping it visually clean.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a spicy, salty, satisfying condiment to revive their appetite during hot summer days.
- Those wanting to use up leftover large stock-grade mackerel stored in the freezer in a clean, practical way.
