These vibrant chillies are often harvested when young for their milder heat where they are carefully preserved in a brine or vizener solution to maintain their crisp texture and spicy kick. For those who relish the thrill of fiery heat - these chillies offer a tantalising challenge leaving the taste buds tingling and craving more with these fiery bites. I don't just add these chillies to a dish but I also love to spoon some of the vinegar on as well.
To tell the truth Im actually not someone who take in a lot of spicy food and my spicy journey only started after knowing my hubby and then a fast track progression after staying with my in-laws. Despite the fact I'm a better spicy-food eater than before, I still prefer my food less spicy so that the taste of the food remains 'real'. I like my plate of "Char Kway Teow" to taste like Char Kway Teow and not like a plate of Char Chilli Padi- if u you know what I mean. This is one item that is a MUST when eating any kind of noodles...Oh yess!! of course my all time favourite only started rite whenever I have craving for eating fried noodles. Instead of purchasing from the local store I prefer to make these beauties myself whenever I find long greens chillies at a reasonable cost.
I still cannot remember why and how I learn to cut pickled green chillies with Fried Bee Hoon or with gravy Hor Fun. I can't even remember where my courage first came from. Many will say that green chilli is not spicy but this is something I will not totally agree to as I have tasted really hot green chilli before!
The chilli will look bright and green for the first few days and will slowly turned to a dull shade of green. From my experience, the pickled green chillies will remain quite spicy in the first few weeks and will lose the spiciness after about 4 weeks. It will taste like what we get from the Chinese Restaurant like my fav- "Fatty Restaurant " or even better as it's home-made from scratch.
