Pickled Chilies
Description
This Pickled Chilies recipe starts by slicing green chilies (seeds discarded) and briefly scalding them in boiled water to soften slightly. After draining, the chilies are pickled overnight in a mixture of rice vinegar, salt, and sugar poured over them. The soaking process naturally mellows the raw heat and imparts tang and balance from vinegar and seasoning.
The resulting chilies remain crisp with a fresh, sharp acidity accompanied by moderate heat depending on the chili type. Pickling in a jar overnight allows the flavors to meld and penetrate evenly.
Green serrano or jalapeno peppers may substitute for the chilies if unavailable. These pickled chilies can be used to add spicy, sour notes to meals, dipping sauces, or noodle dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 oz (125g) green chilies discard the seeds and sliced into pieces
- 1 cup rice vinegar Chinese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup water boiled
Instructions
- Prepare the green chilies and transfer them to a small bowl. Bring water to a boil, then pour it over the chilies in the bowl. Let the chilies sit in the boiled water for about 10 seconds. Drain and discard the hot water.
- In the same bowl, add the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir to mix well. Transfer everything into a small glass container or jar and refrigerate overnight. The pickled green chilies will be ready by the next day.
Notes
- Use any green chilies except bird eye's chilies for optimal flavor and heat balance.
- In the United States, green serrano or jalapeno peppers make good substitutes if Chinese green chilies are unavailable.
