Tips
Thai chili peppers have a strong, lingering heat.
These can be added to vegetable and rice stir-fries for a spicy flavor. In Thailand, they are traditionally used in seafood dishes.
When cooking with these peppers, you can add sugar or coconut oil to cut down on the heat.
The Scoville rating for Thai chili peppers is between 50,000 and 100,000 units.
